@katmountain,

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 out.

I understand that you want to connect your HP OfficeJet 5746 e-All-in-One Printer via USB cable to your computer.

It’ll be a great pleasure to assist you with this.

And here's the step by step guide for you in the link: Download and Install a Driver for a USB Connection

If the software is already installed, then you can follow the steps provided below:

From the computer desktop,

1. Click Start, select All Programs, click HP, click the folder of your printer.

2. Click Printer Setup & Software, and then select Connect a new printer.

3. When the Connection Options software screen appears, select USB.

4. Select your HP printer software from the list of detected printers.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Let me know how that works.
 

I hope you have a good day ahead.
