hp printer not in programs

i downloaded the drivers for a hp7520 printer. ( wireless) the printer shows up in printers and devises. I set the printer for default. i tell it to print and the printer does nothing and nothing shows up to be printed when i check the devise. i go to programs as instructed in trouble shooting and the hp 7520 is not there. i tried to install anothr hp printer wireless in this same computer and it would not work gave up and installed for usb port. any suggestions

The printer shows in Devices and Printers but not in "programs"? What is meant by programs, no files in C:\Program Files? That usually means the software that came with the printer is not fully installed. Also to check in Device and Printers is whether that printer is set as Default then each program you've tried to print from has to show that in File, Print, Print Setup, etc. I've seen a number of times something else like Fax or XPS set as Default and nothing seems to happen.

Berton, Thats correct nothing shows up in c:/programs. Howerver, I uninstalled the drivers again an reinstalled. The printer is now working but it still doesn"t show up in c:/programs which I don"t understand. I have this same printer installed in 3 other laptops and it shows up in c:/ programs.
Thanks for your help
