MissBea,

 

You can probably use your Canon printer with your HP notebook.

 

When connecting an HP printer to the computer, the printer works best when the printer software for that printer is downloaded and installed on the computer.

 

I would suggest that you need to do the same for the cannon printer, that is, you should download and install the driver (software) onto the computer.   After you install the driver, and connect the printer using whatever means you have (wireless, USB, Ethernet), you should be able to control the printer from the computer.

 

Instead of installing HP printer software, you will need to install the printer software for your cannon printer.

It is a nice way to say “Thank You” for the help.

Although I strive to reflect HP's best practices, I do not work for HP.
