The HPSA detects PC and Printers.

The information is documented, though admittedly the restriction is not obvious when using HPSA.

Adding devices

You can add printers within your environment from My devices. This allows you to get information and updates for your PC and any attached printers. You can add printers within your environment from My devices. This allows you to get information and updates for your PC and any attached printers.  To add printers, click on Add a device from the My devices tab. After clicking on Detect my device, HP Support Assistant will scan for printers attached to your PC either by a cable or over the network. You will be able to select from a list of detected printers and type in a custom name, for example “My home printer”. After this step, you can scan for updates and messages for this device, finish without scanning, or add another device.

You are welcome.

For reference, the HP provides a Support Website for the monitor that includes a Driver, Troubleshooting, How-to sections and more.
