how do i open a terminal window??

Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

it says command not found...
it has linux operating system not windows.

help help help why is this sooo complicated???? I feel like i am back in the 80s with a commodore 64.

how do i download the drivers for a HP Deskjet F4280 onto an Acer Aspire One

Sorry but the network is working?

hello i dont know what you mean by on the network,,,

i plugged in my printer, and it did all this stuff setting up all on its onw and looked to be working but still nothing will print,
what can i do??

Please do NOT install HPOJ. HPOJ is very old and not supported by HPLIP and will actually cause problems with HPLIP.

You can try using the manual install instructions for fedora:

http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/manual/distros/fedora_core.html

However I can't get to linpus.com right now to be able to provide more detailed instructions. Soon as their site is working again I'll work on creating some more specific install instructions for linpus.

As for running terminal, if you are getting an error command not found then you are probably already in terminal. Try running:

cat /etc/issue

and post the output.

Also as for "network" that means your internet connection.

thank you very much-  somehow i managed to get it installed after some trial and error- i believe I ended up installing it with fedora.  and it somehow worked! but if you could still send me the instructions just in case something goes wrong that would be wonderful!
Thank you so much
