(from the top of my head, disclaimer-might be terribly wrong)

in Gnome you go to the system-settings, --> printing, then choose 
"jet-direct" (if your HP-printer supports that), type in ip-address 
192.168.0.192 (if you're on the 192.168.0.* network), en choose your 
printer-driver, and test a test-page

this assumes you have your printer directly plugged into the switch or hub

if that's not the case, you can set up samba (for windows- apple- and 
linux-clients) on your file/print-server to let all the client print via
that file/print-server, this is a little more difficult, but see e.g.
