I install a lot of new computers and I can tell you right now that if you install an HP printer (or any manufacturer''s printer) as an application with scanner, fax, and photo software you will increase your boot time by minutes.
The feature helps avoid the longer boot times that versions of Microsoft's Windows OS undergo to run such applications.
If you do see anything what you do want on for example MSN massager by all means keep it on but the more you have running in the background the more it'll sap your PC's performance and will also affect you're your Boot times as well.
