My error message

Here's my error message for my HP printer... The printer cannot print because you have not specified a printer model. Select the Chooser. Then select your printer, click the "set-up" button & select your model in the Type menu.

Ok... now here's the problem... The driver I downloaded from the HP site doesn't list any models in the type menu. Therefore, I can't select any to set it up. I looked on Apple System Profiler and it shows my usb port... But if I'm in the control pannel for Apple Talk it only shows the ethernet, printer, and modem ports. Am I missing something in between that I don't know about? I've turned appletalk on and off... tried to see if I could just use another printer profile... hmmmm what else.... moved the extension for the downloaded driver in the printer descriptions folder... that didn't work, it just removed my desktop printer... and that's all that I think I've done.
