Hi @Cablecar,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To get your HP printer back on the taskbar in Windows, follow these steps.

Check the Printer Status:

• Make sure your printer is turned on and connected to your computer or network.

Open Settings:

• Click on the Start menu and select Settings (the gear icon).

Devices:

• Go to Devices and then click on Printers & scanners.

Select Your Printer:

• Find your HP printer in the list. If it's not there, click Add a printer or scanner and follow the prompts to add it.

Pin to Taskbar:

• Once your printer is visible, you can create a shortcut for it on your taskbar:
  • Open the Control Panel (search for it in the Start menu).
  • Click on Devices and Printers.
  • Right-click on your printer and select Create shortcut.
  • Drag the created shortcut to your desktop.
  • Right-click the shortcut on your desktop and select Pin to taskbar.

Using HP Smart App:

• If you have the HP Smart app installed, you can also pin it to the taskbar. Open the app, and then right-click the app icon on the taskbar and select Pin to taskbar.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
