HP P1505 printer - no driver available

Asked by Marsrise

I am trying to set up a new HP LJ P1505, using 7.04. The printer is recognized, but when I proceed with the install, it wants to use the P2015 driver. Although it appears to have been installed (as a 2015) when I send a test print nothing happens. This is my first experience installing a printer in Ubuntu, and it appears from the HPLIP site that there is no driver available for this model. Is there a go-around? Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions.
