Also HP seems to support linux insofar as printers and other periferals are concerned. Drivers are available for their printers and cameras so unless they have a really weird bunch of hardware you should be ok. Have you turned the plugnplay off in the bios? Not familiar with the bios in a HP but if there is a line that says "Plug and Play OS - yes or no" try it with "no" or "off". HTH
