I have a couple HP printers. If its a fairly new model and is USB, they are a little tough to get running. With mine I had to follow HP installation instructions from their site exactly. Installing the software first, shut down, plug in the printer and reboot. After that they have worked flawlessly. Before that, nothing but a pain.
If its old enough for Windows to have drivers, it should be no problem. Did you buy a new cord with it? No bent pins on the plugs, etc? If you've been through all this then I vote bad printer also. Parallel port or USB is turned on in BIOS?
