I don't have the link handy but go to the HP site and search for 
Linux.  Follow the links.  I think you can also find them off of the 
linuxprinting.org site.

Install the HP drivers.  I found that they worked like a charm for me. 
  Follow the readme as there is a message about changing the settings 
in Gimp.
