HP printer showing as optical drive

 Problem occured after reinstall of W10, my printer (Laserjet Pro 400 M401d) was detected as an optical drive. I am using the USB connection.

After tying all usual tricks (device delete, try all USB port 2.0 or 3.0, manual driver installation), I was about to give up and I went back on internet to search for help. Finally, this guy saved me with a so simple solution:

REMOVE Cyberlink Power2go desktop burning gadget

Well, I recently installed Power2Go 7 (conflicted with Daemon Tools btw) and I fell upon the VERY annoying desktop gadget. After spending 1H searching the net and being unable to locate a patch that could apparently remove the thing, I went back to the good old DOS like solution.
Start msconfig then go to the Startup tab. Once there locate and untick the Power2go desktop gadget and reboot.

Easy right? Funny that Cyberlink does not provide a simple option to unable their gadget.....
