Hi popa1120
To set up your HP DeskJet 2852e on a new laptop, you'll need to put the printer into setup mode so your laptop can detect it over Wi-Fi, then complete the setup using the official HP app.
Press and hold the Wi-Fi button and Cancel button (red X) on the printer control panel simultaneously for 3 seconds until the Power button starts blinking. Wait until the Wi-Fi light blinks purple/blue, indicating setup mode is active.
Ensure your laptop's Bluetooth is turned ON and that it is connected to your primary 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Open a web browser on your new laptop, navigate to 123.hp.com, and download the HP Smart app (or install it via the Microsoft Store / macOS App Store).
Open the HP Smart app, sign in or create an HP account, and click the + (Add Printer) icon. Select your HP DeskJet 2852e from the list and follow the on-screen prompts to share your Wi-Fi credentials and install drivers.
Print a test page through the HP Smart app to verify that the connection and drivers are working properly.
I hope the above is helpful
