Clearing Extra Applications from the "Open With' Menu in 10.5

Hello,

After installing an HP printer, my 'open with' dialogue is cluttered with lots of HP junk. How can I remove these items on 10.5? I've found a lot of answers for 10.4 and earlier, but nothing that works on Leopard.

Thanks for any help,

- Grey

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

you can try rebuilding the launch services database. run this terminal command

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

this will remove redundant items from "open with".
