Hello bertil, you can install the latest HP driver from here - http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/gethplip.html Windows uses a centralized model for development, where linux is fragmented. At the end of the day, there is still a solution and hey, at least on linux you won't have to worry about malware, viruses etc. A small price to pay for freedom :) Also look in the Help Manual under Hardware, Printer Setup for more information on HP printers. Cheers :)

Sometimes I like to test different Linux distributions (Live versions).
I find it very strange that in year 2014 several Linux (including your Lite) does not find my HP Laserjet P1102
connected to a USB port. Windows find USB printers since Windows XP about 12 years ago.
So far only Mint Mate, SolydX and XUbuntu have found my printer and I can print.
Some distributions find the printer, but there is no output to the printer.
Some distributions (Bodhi, LUbuntu) did not find my WiFi USB-card (Zyxel).
Sometimes I did not manage to get Swedish characters on my keyboard (WattOS, LUbuntu, Bodhi).
Linux is not ready to replace Windows XP yet.
Perhaps someone has a solution so it is possible to print via USB in Linux Lite.
I tested your Live version 1.08.
Best regards,
Bertil
