Remove it while in "Safe Mode".

To get into Safe Mode, press F8 before the Loading Windows logo shows
up. This will give you a list of options, choose Safe Mode. Once in
there, go ahead and remove them.

Another thing you can try first is this. Click Start-Control
Panel-Printers and Faxes-Right click on the HP Printer, and click
Delete. Now try uninstalling the software  

Note: You may also need to press control+alt+delete and go to the
processes tab. Now select applications that say HP on them and click end
taks.
