That will depend on the compatibility of your specific printer. The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 laptop, model number 81WE00KVUS ships with the Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. We recommend you contact your printer manufacturer for the compatibility of your specific printer model with Windows 10 S-Mode. It may be necessary to switch to Windows 10 Home to install the necessary drivers for your printer model. Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ideally yes it will work ...as long as you are connected to the internet then it should be smart enough to pull the necessary drivers in order to print. However, is is best to install the full drivers directly from the HP website so you can get all the features you want or need (scan, etc)
