My scanner does not work on hp psc 1350 - new user of Ubuntu

I have never used linux before - but I completely got rid of Vista and loaded Ubuntu.
So now using different functions of my hardware.
The hp psc 1350 printer works well - but now I need to use the scan to info to other poeple. I tried running ptal-init setup but it said i needed to install something for hp (I just copied off screen & can't remember it) - anyway then ran ptal-init setup
Then restarted computer - hit the scan button & the printer blinked at me and did nothing
Maybe I answered the questions wrong - not sure
My printer is connected by USB
Can anyone help me figure out what I did wrong?????
Thank you
