Possible to bypass adding printer software (wireless)?

[jive turkey]

I am trying to connect my Macbook Pro (10.8.4) to a wireless printer (HP Photosmart C4780) at one of my clients. It is showing up under nearby printers and says, "software for this printer is available." But when I click install, after a few moments it returns a, "no software is available" message. I tried to cancel the "add software" message to bypass it, but it does nothing.

I've read through what I could find on the Apple website about wireless printing, as well as the guide here at MR but nothing that helps me was discovered. I'm not the brightest bulb, so is there a trick I'm missing? Thanks!

How are you connecting to the printer? Manually or via bonjour?

Actually, it looks like you are using Bonjour... If it isn't working, try manually installing the drivers from Apple: HP Drivers

You will have to manually update the printer driver. I had a HP Photosmart C7280 do the exact same thing. Every time I turned it on I received the same message. Once the driver was updated, message went away. Printer should still work even with message showing.
