That was it! I actually tried starting cups but didn't know I needed to use the "start" command. 

Once I started cups all I needed to do was install hplib, but now I'm printing like a champ. Thanks!!!

>>> Hi Ali 13.04 to my understanding according to Philly it came with cups turned off in order to save disk space. There is a reported bug on the issue.  I had to do the sudoku apt-get cups, in order for my install to recognize my printer all in one. I'm on my phone now so I can't pull up the bug number. I will post a little later on the bug.

Start the service on this computer or connect to another server." Any ideas? This is an issue specific to Lubuntu, because the "Printers" application works fine in Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu Gnome.
