Hello!

Welcome to Linux Lite.

Have you tried installing HPLIP? It is written by HP to provide Linux support for a wide variety of HP printers.

You can get it here: http://www.http://hplipopensource.com.

If you're running a 1.X.X of LL, your OS is 'Ubuntu 12.04'.

If you follow the installation instructions on their Web site, that SHOULD solve your problem...
