I did some digging and found a post that had me looking for the HP
Standard TCP/IP monitor located in the registry. For my printer it was
at HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\HP Standard
TCP/IP Port. I exported the HP Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor Key
(Right-Click, Export, select where to save and the name) and then
deleted the entire key. From there, I was able to make another go at
the install and succeeded.
