Re: HP Printer
it's surprising that the inbuilt HPLIP doesn't support it !.
but - you could try installing the series rather than the model:
ie: 3600 rather than the specific 3632 model.
this site:
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/mo ... eries.html
seems to suggest that it is supported, though.
so - try downloading that HPLIP file, from there.

Please edit your original post title to include [SOLVED] - when your problem is solved!

Re: HP Printer
Hello, noelw.
With respect to recent HP printers, Pierre is right. It will be necessary to download and install the most recent HPLIP software from the HP website.
Perhaps my recent experience in doing so for an HP LaserJet printer in this post here will be (partially) helpful to you as well.
HTH,
Karl

Re: HP Printer
According to Pierre's post, your printer requires at least hplip 3.15.6. However, you have installed version 3.15.2. Please go to the hplip web site and download the latest version of hplip: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html
