Assuming it was a package from HP, then just keep the installer file
around.
Note that a lot of the HP printers work under gutenprint, the open
source project that supports a ton of inkjet printers, and recently also
added supported for hundreds of PCL-based lasers also.
gutenprint does not run under Windows (at least there is no official
port thereof), but does run under any linux system and MacOSX.
