Did you install printerdrake from Synaptic?

Edit: Or you can install task-printer.

Odd, my HP printer was detected and offered to setup even from the livecd, and was ready after install  as well.

Hi,

Try installing "task-printing-hp" from Synaptic. After that, go to Menu -> More Applications -> Printing -> HP Device Manager to install the printer. You may have to reboot in order to start CUPS.

Hope this helps

Rick.

I set up my HP 4550 AIO from PCLinuxOS Control Center>Hardware>Printers... worked easily for network sharing, too.

Also, I know not all drivers are included, but I haven't had to install anything extra for this printer from Synaptic for 2009 or any of the last betas, etc, and it has all of its functions.
