You mean you want to be able to use your HP PSC with Linux? That's almost trivially easy. Ubuntu should detect it and download/install the approprate drivers automatically.
You're gonna wanna tell us which model you have.
Pulling up a few at random showed all but one listing Linux support.
Newer printers may require installing the latest driver. It is easy to do in Ubuntu.

Rep:
Yes I looked for the HP PSC 1402 Driver, and there is one, but it is very basic and not so powerful, which I have used for a print out. But there is no scanner... unless you know of software I don't. I looked up HP in add/remove software. And went to the HP website, and followed a link out of the site and downloaded a program.
Your all in one is listed as supported for printing and scanning.
You want to download the HPLIP driver and follow the instructions to install it.

To use the Automatic Installer, follow these steps:
1. Download the file to a convenient location (e.g., home directory or desktop, etc).
2. Open a console/terminal and cd to the location where the installer was downloaded. (e.g., cd ~/Desktop)
3. Type in and run this command: 'sh hplip-2.8.7.run'
