Hi,
Having been through a number of installs in my early days of LL
One of the first things I install after the normal LL updates is hplip
via 'Install/Remove Software' ("synaptic")
I then just use the regular menu > system > printers
Select add, and it "automagically" finds my printer, which is on "WiFi" connected to my router..!!
It then just adds the drivers/config.. (maybe I'm lucky, never had to use hp-setup, it takes about 2 minutes)
It does add in some other HP Fax/Address book stuff,
I just un-tick those in the menu editor to hide them.
