If you download the CORPORATE windows drivers for your HP printer you
get it without the bloatware.
To be honest I have not tried to use it to scan with my ethernet
attached multifunction printer, but it does print well.
Most of the problems I have found with HP printers on networks is due to
them having floating IP addresses (randomly assigned by DHCP servers)
and if you give them a fixed IP address they work fine.
Windows also supports printing over HTTP, so you can easily connect your
windows system to CUPS.
