@DebbyT,

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.


Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that you are unable to set up the printer on your HP TouchSmart 300-1020 Desktop PC.

 

This issue could occur if the printer is not setup properly or the drivers may not be installed.

 

Let's go through a few steps to troubleshoot this issue.

 

And here's the step by step guide for you in the links below: 

 

1. USB Printer Setup (Windows)

 

2. Wireless printing center

 

Also, let us know the model number of the printer that you want to install.

 

Let me know how this works.
 

You have a good day ahead.

Rainbow23 - HP Support.
