hp p2015 printer driver installs for linux OS ?

Asked by Karengw

I have tried downloading the proprietary plugin hplip-3.9.2., but it still won't work. I'm using Ubuntu. It says it has installed properly but still doesn't recognize the printer. Also, I work for an HP dealer and require all the printer drivers to do my job...hope this isn't a "bumping into problem" like XP was! HELP! PLEASE!!
