You need to install HPLIP driver.

This driver can be download from Sourceforge via HP website.

To download and install follow this commands.

cd ~/Downloads

sudo wget -c "http://kaz.dl.sourceforge.net/project/hplip/hplip/3.13.11/hplip-3.13.11.run"

sudo sh hplip-3.13.11.run

** There is a nice GUI application called hplip-gui . It is a versatile tool. Even you can Fax using All-In-One printers with this application.

sudo apt-get install hplip-gui

Strangely, the current version of hplip (3.14.3) doesn't include a ppd file for the 1010/1012 printers. This is odd, because the installer offers the 1012 as one of the options prior to the make/install steps.

I got it working by downloading the ppd from here and copying it (sudo required) to /usr/share/ppd/HP

One other note: the HPLIP toolbox is really useful, but it's hard to find: look in System Tools → Preferences, if you're a Gnome user.
