Hmmm it seems that the 3520 is a model that is not supposed to require a driver installation, but there is one. Have you actually installed the 3520 driver? If not, it's available from the hp web site. Maybe that would help. From what I read, there isn't really an install of this printer, you just plug it in and it is supposed to find the usb printer and go. Is that what your install is like?
