On a Lenovo T590 Thinkpad I suddenly have a couple of HP drivers showing as available in my Windows Update: "HP Image 40.11.1137.17149" and "HP Printer 20.79.1.6692". The Microsoft Update Catalog labels these "Windows 8.1 drivers" last updated 5/28/2017. These updates do seem to be appropriate for an LAN-attached HP printer I have, but these updates do not appear in Windows Update on 3 other computes on the LAN - just this on laptop. All 4 computers access the printer with no problem. No significant changes have been made to the printer or and computers (other than regular Windows maintenance) for months (if not years).

Any idea why Windows Update should be providing these updates now to just one computer?
