HP Connected interfering with printing

Hi all,

A client of mine is having problems printing on her new Windows 8, HP laptop. If she tries to print a webpage in Google Chrome, HP Connected pops up, requiring her to register, which she doesn't want to do (why should she?) She can print webpages from IE. And, she could print emails from Hotmail, but then HP Connected started popping up there too.

I'm guessing that this is a bloatware issue. Could it be a case of uninstalling HP Registration Service? If so, I've read that this isn't always that easy to do.

Any advice very much appreciated.
