I'm wondering if that will also remove the status window it created that
sits on the staus bar??

Get the updated drivers from the HP site. I have an HP6L and the
original disks were superseded. I am sure the same happened for
the HP5L.

Also, you are making a big mistake by reinstalling Win95A. Win
95B or C was ALMOST Win 98 (without the stupid IE
"integration"/Active Desktop) and is vastly superior. You can
fdisk with FAT32, to begin with. You can get 95B/C from a warez
group (even the floppy version!) or at a garage sale or eBay -
if you think MS cares and/or were harshly toilet-trained.

The HP status window can be removed in win.ini (it's right at
the beginning) but it will come back every time you boot up. I
just right click and close it. Some things one is just powerless
against. (Before someone mentions it, I believe I tried a
"start-up manager" as well but it still kept on coming back.
Anyway, I don't care. There are worse things than having to do
one right click. Like having to reboot every time I forget and
make the mistake of thinking it is possible to cancel an MS/HP-
driven print job.)

as it requires us to show great respect for everybody, whereas
most people deserve none at all; and again in so far as it
demands that we should feign the most lively interest in people,
when we must be very glad that we have nothing to do with them.

well the right click approach will not let me delete the icon...I wonder if
there was a printer update for the first versions of win 95 A?

What happened when you tried? Is the delete option missing or greyed out,
or is it there but doesn't seem to do anything?

Have you tried selecting the printer and then hitting DEL or choosing File /
Delete?
