HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just re-imaged a Windows 10 laptop and I am trying to add all the necessary software to it. I just added access to my HP OfficeJet Pro 6970 an I have the HP Smart app on my computer. But I on my other laptop that also has access to this printer, I have a HP folder under Program Files. This HP folder has a Bin subfolder that contains several DLLs and some .exe files. One in particular, the HP OfficeJet Pro 6970.exe I find especially useful. But I have not yet figured out how to get access (and, presumably, download) these files. I am trying to not just download a bunch of unnecessary junk. I tried to include images/jpgs of  screenshot from my desktop that shows the icons for the HP executables and the folder structure that I have on the other  laptop that did not re-image. If anyone could point me to the steps to get access to these files, it would be appreciated.

I think I answered my own question. I found a file that I had saved when I did the first, initial installation of the printer. The file name is OJ6970_Basicx64_40.14.1195.exe. Whenever I have trouble with the printer and decide that I need to delete the printer and re-install it, I use this program. Well, I decided to delete the printer (using the Control Panel) that the HP Smart app set up for me and I used this program to re-install the printer. After I did that, I believe I then had the folders and files that I needed and the HP OfficeJet Pro 6970 shortcut that I wanted appeared on my desktop. 

So, I think I'm good now.
