Hello!

What have you done to try to make it work?

[mymoodz]

I have installed hp lip service status on the top of my desktop. i went to its device manager but it says no hp equipment installed. i dont know what to do with it. the printer works just fine in windows. i just checked it.

i also tried the "printers" thing in system settings. i tried to add a printer but it wont recognize the printer

[QIII]

Forgive me for asking the obvious questions here, but I need to cover the basics.

Did you add the printer in System Settings?

Edit: Bah! We must have been typing at the same time!

[QIII]

You said it is attached via USB?

Could you post the results of
