Are you connecting it physically or via Wireless or Bluetooth? That will effect how it works. Also, most don't come with CDs for installation anymore. Since computers (most at least) have plug-n-play options for most devices, you should be able to connect it just fine.
If I remember correctly, as it is has been a while since I had an HP one, you should be able to go to the HP site and download the required software, drivers, etc. Yep, found it... if you go here... http
