printer driver for HP photosmart C6180

Asked by Nick Cox

I have just bought an Acer Aspire One laptop and am trying to download a printer driver for my wireless HP Photosmart C6180. The installer asks me which version of the Linux OS I am using - I have no idea, but none of the ones offered seems to work. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone know which version is loaded onto this computer, and if so, how to move forward with the download without getting error messages???
