This is not a clean text but some ideas...

http://docteam.mageia.nl/en/MCC/content/system-config-printer.html

Network printer
This is too light: When use HP JetDirect? ipp,? https? etc.
"Find network printer" does not work at my home . If it does not work,
explain what to do, such as set up an IP address for the printer, ether fixed 
in the printer or better in the dhcp server, attaching an IP to the MAC 
address of the printer.


Hewlett-Packard printers
A word about the multifunctions printer/scanner. The scanner is setup with the 
printer. Run HP device manager or run hp-setup as root in a terminal.
If you buy a new HP printer which is not in the list, you can use the nearest 
printer reference. It generally works well but sometime, the scanner cannot 
works. 
You can have a look to http://openprinting.org , search in
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/database/databaseintro
and help to find a solution

Note: In case of problems, Vesa will work with most of graphic cards, ...
If Vesa don't work, boot in single user mode and run drakx11
The mode which works in any case is the frame buffer (fbdev). It is used during 
the installation. Then, reboot in a graphic mode and use MCC/XFdrake to 
install the best driver.

HP multifunction printer/scanner are installed with the printer installer.
To use the scanner with Gimp, you need the package xsane-gimp.
