What software would I need to convert a photographic negative to a normal/printable picture?

Obviously this would initialy involve the use of a scanner, in this case an HP Deskjet F380. The negatives are standard 35 mm.

You need a scanner with backlight, the software comes free with those.

Or the scanner should have a transparency option. The better the quality of scanner, the better the results. The best option is a scanner with a slide and negative scan built in.

If you managed to scan the negatives use the Gimp or Gimpshop, both are free.
