To install hplip package

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get install hplip

sudo hp-setup

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then for the scanner you can try xsane

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xsane

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

You will find xane under Applications->Graphics menu, i think you must configure sane to make it works.

Are you connected to the net...?

HP Deskjet f4200 series

Is supported by HPLIP (requires HPLIP version 2.8.5 or later).

Hope this helps
