Hello Den942, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are having issues with the software on your Windows 7 machine. I would like to try and help you find a resolution.
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software. If you run into any issues during the uninstall, I would suggest using the windows tool on how to Uninstall or change a program.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting the computer into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. I am including a document on How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the printer is in clean boot mode, I would use this link to ensure that you have the most up to date software when installing the HP Deskjet F2200/F2224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
