It sounds like the Windows in-OS drivers took the install and is blocking the HP software from proceeding.

Did you possibly plug the USB cable into the PC prior to performing the install of the HP software?

If so, please stop the installation process by selecting Connect Later or stopping the installation program in the Task Manager. Unplug the USB cable between the PC and printer.

Click the Start menu of the PC
Select Printers and Faxes or Devices and Printers depending on your Windows version
For older versions of windows (Prior to Windows 7): Right click in the empty white space and select Run as Administrator>Print Server Properties
For newer versions of windows: Click on any printer in the list of printers and select Print Server Properties at the top of the window
Select the Drivers tab and delete any drivers for the Laserjet printer.

Now you should be able to run the installation file again and select USB installation. Wait for the software to request plugging in the USB cable before doing so.

when all the drivers get in the pc Laserjet now be recognized.

Thanks
