This is probably legacy software, but I like the way it functions.  I lost mine when my laptop died.  Thanks!

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

The Printer Assistant is part of the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software.

 

=========================

Printer - Full Feature Software - Install

 

If you have not done so, consider

 

If the full driver printer software is (already) installed but not working,

  • Uninstall any printer software from Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features
  • Restart the computer and sign in.

Next,

  • Check (for the Printer) in Devices and Printers  > If found, Right-Click Printer and Remove -- If any changes are made, that is, you remove anything, Restart the computer and sign in.I

Next,

  • If using a printer USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable before installing the printer software.
  • Download and Save the Full Feature Software installation package or the Easy Start Software
