Hi,

generally, HP has a great support for its devices. For your
particular problem, the first step I would recommend is to go to
http://hplip.sourceforge.net and look, whether your printer is
supported and what it is supposed to be able to do under
Linux.

Subsequently there is A LOT of information on anything regarding
installation, configuration, printing, scanning and faxing and
much more available there.
