    If you have not installed anything, but then it's quite simple. Use the option of reset HP Recovery Managerfactory. That will return that your laptop is purchased condition.

    You can access the recovery at Startup Manager by pressing the F11 key immediately after pressing the power button on your laptop.

    Once you have recovered your laptop be sure to make a password reset disk or flash thumbdrive in Windows and put it somewhere safe.

    Here is a link to 11 other ways to reset the Windows password.

    Hello Stephen,

    You did mention the operating system installed in the laptop. Provide that information will help you provide better assistance.

    Basically, if your laptop and the printer are connected to the same network (or even router), you can configure and connect to this printer as a network printer in the laptop. The article I'm referring below has a tutorial on how to connect printers (Local and network), please go through the information in there and see if it helps you as well.

    Install a printer

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/install-printer#install-printer=Windows-7

    If you need assistance, just reply to the version of the operating system running on the laptop, and we'll be happy to help you.

    Thank you and have a nice day ahead!
