How to printer Icon on desktop

[Cursillo]

I just purchased a new HP Laptop.  My old laptop had the printer Icon on the desktop so I could access the scanner and other options right from the desktop.

Hi @Cursillo,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

To assist you better, which version of Win OS are you using?

If the printer driver is already installed on the PC, follow these steps:

• Access the start menu.
• In the search bar type 'HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 '.
• Once the device icon appears, right-click on the printer and send to the desktop, or drag and drop it to the desktop screen.

Run HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and fix any driver issue

Click here to download the file. Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and click on 'Fix printing'.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
