SAN JOSE, Calif. — Hewlett-Packard Co. on Wednesday confirmed plans for a corporate overhaul that will combine two of its biggest divisions, printing and PCs, in an effort by new CEO Meg Whitman to turn the troubled tech giant around.

The announcement does not mention layoffs, although industry experts have said some are likely.
