Have you looked into the device manager to see if it's even detected the printer? If so, did you right click on it and uninstall it and let Windows 7 try to find it again?

If you go to HP's site, you can download the latest driver. The URL is:

Can you post a picture of your device manager showing if the printer has been detected or not?

Also, are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7? You have to ensure you have the correct drivers (32-bit or 64-bit).
