Assuming that all are on the same subnet, how have you configured your
printer settings? On Ubuntu: System|Administration|Printing|Printer|Shared
On the HP:
- Does the printer show up?
- How are you trying to connect? I recommend using ipp:
ipp://<target>.local:631/printers/<printername>
 or
ipp://<ipaddress>:631/printers/<printername>
