The title of your post suggests that you have connected the HP printer to a Linksys network appliance. Can you get the HP printer to work if you connect it directly to your computer?

Have you downloaded the HP printer drivers? These are usually available in your distribution's software repository. If you cannot find the HP printer driver in your distribution's package manager then go to HP.com and get it from them. I haven't done this in a while but I remember that it was easy to install.

You didn't say what method you are using to configure your printers. I like to use the CUPS web interface. Point your web browser to http://127.0.0.1:631 to access this software. You can view almost anything as an anonymous user. When you want to make a change it will ask you to log in. Use the root account with the root password. If your distribution doesn't support normal root logins then you can set the root password using sudo. Create an interactive sudo session, then use the passwd utility to create a password for root.
Code:
sudo -i
Password: <enter your normal user password>
passwd
New password:
Confirm password:
Then you can use the root account to authenticate in the CUPS web interface.
