That is what I was thinking. I have seen HP printer/scanner combo devices cause problems until you disable the scanner sync feature from startup.
Being an HP brand computer, you would do well to un-install all of the "special" HP hand holding software that it came with. Be sure to un-install the expired 90 day introductory version of Norton 359 degree, system wide, universal, super duper, Anti-Everything protection software and firewall COMBO, while you are at it.
