Default HP USB Printer not detected

I have an HP Photosmart 1218 USB printer which Vista RTM doesn't see. Does
Vista include a driver for this printer? I can find nothing on www.hp.com of
any relevance.

When I disconnect and reconnect the USB cable I get a 'bing-bong' from the
speakers but nothing else. No dialog box or any sign that Vista can see a
new device.

All was working fine on XP.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Michael

Just bumping this because:
I am having the exact same problem with a HP Deskjet 5550 USB printer.

I'm using Vista Home Premium Edition 32bit.

I hear the "bing-bong" when I plug it in and unplug it (so the computer
seems to know that something is going on). But after that nothing.
