I think there is a problem when the printer is detected automatically 
and it will not setup the printer correctly. When following directions 
for installing hplip, did you use the hp-setup command? If you didn't, 
please open a terminal and enter the command

gksu hp-setup

and follow the instructions. The program should download the driver and 
then ask you to accept the EULA.

However, if you then still have communications problems, connect the 
printer directly to a USB 2.0 port without a hub in the line. Then run 
the "gksu hp-setup" command again.
