Basically ever since I have had my computer it has been randomly waking up and I found out it is because of 'NT TASK\HP\HP Print Scan Doctor\Printer Health Monitor'. I don't have a printer in my house, but it keeps trying to scan for one? Is there a way to disable this or turn it off?

Someone suggested using the HP AiO printer remote to fix the problem. It did not work for me but I went to HP website used their HP Print and Scan doctor. I had to set up the printer as a new printer, connect the printer directly to the
laptop and then back to wireless.
