Windows 10: What files pertain to my HP printer?

I lost my driver to my HP LaserJet 1022n and in trying to reinstall the driver, HP says I must delete all files pertaining to my LaserJet. This is the only HP printer have now. Following are all the HP files I have. Which ones can I delete and which ones do I need for my HP Envy laptop? The files are all HP and are Connection Optimizer, Documentation, Dropbox Plugin, EmailSMTP Plugin, FTP Plugin, Google Drive Plugin, One Agent, SFTP Plugin, Sharepoint Plugin and Software Framework.

HP's Hackable Printers: The Lawsuit

Checksums are used to detect file corruption and has been used since the dawn of computers. Digital signatures on the other hand, go a step further. While they check the integrity of a file, they also authenticate that it came from who it claims to have come from. This technique uses cryptography to implement this function and is similar in concept to SSL for websites.

HP DeskJet 9670 printer on Windows 10.

Go to the HP Support Web Site as below...

In my case I then needed to go to Step 3 and working through from there - my printer was NOT in the list so I had to select the bottom option 'Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings' and click 'Next', working through their Online
instructions from there. The next screen will probably give you the option to update the list of printer drivers on your PC: go for that BUT note that it may well appear to have stopped working as it took perhaps 10-15 minutes to update! Go and make a cup
of coffee in the interim!

If your printer is on one or other of the HP/Hewlett Packard lists then you should be OK, if not, you will need to ascertain which listed printer is the nearest or recommended substitute one to use. HP should have a list of suggestions if it is not too old,
otherwise try the 9800, which is the one that I have to use for my 9670 (which is A3).

Good luck!
