It does not detect mobile broadband or wireless network in ubuntu 10.04. Hence the propreitary plugin is not downloadable from a wireless broadband connection which needs to be rectified asap.

download the plugin for your particular version of ubuntu from
http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins

and install it using sudo hp-setup --give the path of the downloaded plugin.run

e.g. for ubuntu 10.04 the correct plugin version is 3.10.2
