Removing HP Scheduler and HPEventHandler from Startup?
Posted: Oct 8, 2009 9:35 AM
 

Hello,

After installing Snow Leopard two items popped up in my login items section: "HP Scheduler" and "HPEventHandler". The minus button to remove them is grayed out.

Is there any other way I can remove these items? I don't have a printer, so I don't need them.

Search for both of them in spotlight and delete them, tht'll clear them out.. had the same thing. It doesnt do anything, apart for some HP printers require the event handler.

Solved

If you left-click the entry in the "Login Items" tab of "Accounts" system preference to select it, the - should become available.

If you right-click the entry in the "Login Items" tab of "Accounts" system preference, "Reveal in Finder" should appear.

Helpful

Click the lock in the lower left of the Account preference panel and put in your password.

This will unlock the panel and then they won't be grayed out.
You can then minus them out.
