A while back I did some posts regarding HP all in
ones.

I recently installed one only to find scanning didn't
work

I filed a bug report...which is now marked as
duplicate

The good news is everything works if you compile and
install a newer version of HPILP from souceforge.

The download includes excellent documentation...dig
into it and you find  that you have step by step
instructions  fpr dapper down to what packages from
ubuntu you need to have installed.

After reading the docs the whole process was quite
painless.

FWIW mine even scans from googles Picassa2 and prints
fine accross the network as a Samba Printer.
