Connecting a HP Laserjet 1606dn to a Lenovo T14s Laptop

[EvergreenState]

I bought a used HP P1606dn printer and am trying to connect it to my new Lenovo T14s.

It did not come with a cable so I used one that I had for a backup hard drive.  I downloaded and installed the drivers from here:
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-laserjet-pro-p1606-printer-series/4110408/model/...

When it goes to try and find the printer it can't.

Is there a patch or a driver I'm missing installing to make this all work? 

I would appreciate any suggestions 🙂

Many thanks!!
