I would make sure the cable is secure on both ends and the printer is turned on. We have the same printer with XP Pro on my wife's computer and if I remember correctly I had to download new drivers from HP to get it to work correctly.

You might also check in the bios the printer port is enabled as set to ECP. You might also read the directions on HP's site as it seems they had a specific order to install the drivers and programs with XP.
