How to setup a printer attached to Windows 7 computer

Hardware

I’ve tried multiple times to find a working tutorial on this topic here and I have tried various Debian flavored tutorials that always fail due to software missing from the repository.

Can someone help me install, via Windows file and printer sharing, a HP Deskjet 3845 inkjet printer that is connected via USB to a Windows 7 computer? I already have the printer shared on the local network and I know it is working via Windows F&PS. How can I get PureOS to connect to it?

Hello
normally with linux systems you could try to open a browser and type localhost: 631. From there as an administrator you should be able to install and configure it.

There is a bit more to it. I’ve tried to figure out a URI that will work for a Windows F&PS shared printer with no luck.
