I am not an expert but this simple solution worked for me.  This solution is for a Windows 11 laptop computer.

 

Download HP Smart from Microsoft Store and install it on your computer.
Set up the driver for your printer.
When you want to use HP Smart type HP Smart into the Search box in the Taskbar at the bottom of your screen.
If HP Smart loads, exit HP Smart and click on the Search box in the bottom Taskbar again and you will see HP Smart listed in the pop-up menu.
Right click on the HP smart icon and another pop-up window will appear giving you options including: "Pin to Taskbar" and "Pin to Start".
Click on "Pin to Taskbar" and then click anywhere on your screen to close the pop-ups and the HP Smart icon should be pinned to your Taskbar.
