Welcome to the HP Community --
If you can get the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software installed, whatever is available in terms of Desktop shortcuts will be installed with the software.
If your full driver software still includes the Printer Assistant shortcut, there might (should?) be a Toolbox somewhere in the Assistant.
What if?
If all else fails to get you what you want, try looking in the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
EWS > HP Document / How-to
Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)
NOTE: Find printer IP address
Section Open the EWS over a local network orientation
Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
Tab Tools > Utilities > Print Quality Toolbox

When asked, opt for the Full Driver to be installed.
After the software is installed, Restart the computer and sign in.

The installation of the full driver generally adds at least one, possibly two shortcuts to the Desktop.
Note: Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and HP Scan are dependent on printer model and supported software options.
