Just deleting it from the accounts panel should do the trick,

that case I reccomend ripping out all the HP software and just using
something like VueScan to do the scanning. However I last
encountered that behavior back in the 10.2 days; I'm pretty sure HP
has gotten more civilized since then.
"Civilized" is relative.
Yes, remove "HP ScanJet Manager" from the user's login items list.
It will stay removed.
Then you can just use the PrecisionScan software, etc, normally. It
all lives in /Applications/ Hewlett-Packard/. What I did was create
an alias to that directory, and stick it into my Pictures folder.
That way I can easily access all of it. I do NOT recommend moving
the Hewlett-Packard folder out of /Applications, as that seems to
break things.
If you want the front buttons and such to work, then you can manually
launch the ScanJet Manager.app as-needed. Just DON'T leave it
running -- it has several serious memory leaks! Easiest way to kill
it when you're done is with Activity Monitor.
