HP Device Manager still in menu after HPLIP uninstall

Question

I have uninstalled HPLIP according to the directions on http://hplipopensource.com/node/188 from Xubuntu 14.04, meaning that I typed this into my terminal emulator:

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/hplip
sudo rm -rf /etc/hp
sudo rm -rf ~/.hplip
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/hp

Those commands removed everything, but a shortcut to HP Device Manager is still in my menu. Of course, when I click it it says it can't find the executable but that's normal because it's a shortcut. So, is this a bug or did I do something wrong and how do I fix it?

Solution 1

I fixed it! I just had to reinstall HPLIP, go to the directory where the installer extracted all of the files, run sudo make uninstall, delete the files using the commands, restart my system, and it was done.

Solution 2

Works for me:

cd /usr/share/hplip
sudo python uninstall.py
