I think you need to install hpijs, ghostscript and gimp-print in order to print. I'm using a PSC-1210 and it works for me.

I use CUPS, and it works fine with my Photosmart printer. Check the ArchWiKi for CUPS setup.

For my printer, I used "PTAL mlc:usb:psc_1100_series" in the device settings; then the "HP PSC 1110 Foomatic/hpijs" driver in the "model" settings.
