Thank you for responding. It's a 7130 All-in-one and it does not have that option. I was told it did but with a tech guy on the line we could not find it. I am not familiar with Bonjour but the Computer uses Rendesvous [sic?] to try top find it. Are they related? You can tell I am in the dark on this.

Aha, what version of OS X are you using, Apple used to call it Rendezvous but renamed it Bonjour for 10.4 (don't ask me why they just do that sometimes).
HPs website doesn't mention Rendezvous or Bonjour for that model (it does for my printer and it works well) but the HP website is rubbish anyway.
For your delectation this is what the section in the 7130xi model reference manual has to say about networking with a Mac:
"
selecting an hp officejet on a network (Macintosh)
If your HP Officejet model supports networking, you can use automatic discovery
or manual setup to locate your printer using the HP All-in-One Setup Assistant
(Hard Disk:Applications:HP All-in-One Software:HP All-in-One Setup Assist).
Automatic discovery allows you to select from a list of printers on your network.
Manual setup allows you to type in the network IP address to access the desired
printer.
1 In the Paper size dialog box, select a default paper size and click Continue.
2 In the HP All-in-One Setup Assistant dialog box, click Next.
3 Select TCP/IP.
You can select a printer automatically or manually:
To set up automatically:
–Click the Rescan TCP/IP button. A list of available printers appears in
the Network Devices dialog box.
– In the Network Devices dialog box, select the desired printer.
–Click OK.
OR
To set up manually:
–Click the Create button.
– Enter the network IP address for the desired printer.
–Click OK.
4 Complete the HP-All-in-One Setup Assistant."
About as much use as **** on fish!
