I just purchased a HP printer and I followed the instructions that HP 
had to install the drivers and it worked like a dream.  I have only 
had one problem with it.  HP at least seems to support Linux much 
better than any other provider that I have looked at.

I would start here.

And here.

One thing I noticed when I purchased my printer is that there are HP 
printers that have the same number but use different drivers depending 
on if they are a BusinessJet or DeskJet.
