Removing left over files

A few days ago I changed printer. For some reason I decided to bring it back
to the store. Will buy another later. Unfortunately (for me) I forgot to
uninstall it with the CD. Had no choice but remove it from Add/Remove, but
as I suspected, I've got many files left over.
What is the best way to get rid of as many if not all files? short of going
through the registry and search and search, the printer was a HP F340. At
least one of you will recognize me..sorry about that.

System Restore perhaps. Add/Remove Programs for the "extras" and
uninstalling the Printer from the printer folder should remove the print
drivers.

Mike,
Maybe i expressed myself not clearly, here goes:
- Installed a new printer
- Returned said printer 2 days later
- Forgot to uninstall software = no Cd
- Had to uninstall by Add/Remove all Items (4) of HP Printer
- Not having CD for proper uninstall, there are left over files and
presumably some items in registry??

Questions: How to get rid of those left over files and perhaps registry
items???

Restoring would only bring back what I already removed....unless I'm way
in left field?? that could be, my 50 year old son says I'm too old for this
stuff...g

Did you read my original reply?

Loop back and read my previous reply. You shouldn't need to use a CD to
uninstall any software. Remove the drivers by doing as I suggested in my
original post.

Not even in the same stadium!
