Looking for a HP driver


I've been looking for a driver for an HP Deskjet F4400 printer in Linux. So far I've only found windoz drivers. Suggestions for where to look would be greatly appreciated.

please read the Ubuntu documentation.

FWIW, my USB connected F4200 is detected and set up with HPLIP and CUPS.

I just went through this for my F2480. HP support comes with the "HPLIP" package. If your printer is very new to the market, then it's possible that you will have to manually install the latest HPLIP from HP. But, perhaps your version of Unbuntu has a later version than that supplied by Debian Lenny.

OK...I pulled a newbie. This is really embarrassing. I ASSUMED the printer was too new... Thank you all for the (eye opening) help.
