Hi James...

I have a HP c4480, I believe this is the model above from the one you
have (or its replacement) I have no issues using any of the functions.

Can you try 2 things...

1. open your web browser and type in 'localhost:631' this is the CUPS
interface and see if your printer is listed there and that its on line
etc...

2. if their are multiple entries for the printer remove them all and
then plug it in again to see if that may remedy the situation.

HP printers are generally hassle free under Linux ;-)

Although I'm on Debian these days I had both my HP printers running
without issue under Ubuntu.
