I have similar problems with a newly acquired HP Deskjet F2280. Before this I had a HP F380 which worked without problems when connected via Time Capsule or direct. The F2280 will only print B&W, and will not scan when connected via Time Capsule. I have contacted HP and followed their advice but this does not work either (see copy of e mail from their help desk below). Advice would be appreciated to solve this one!
