File -> Print. There's a dropdown menu with "Color Management" and "Output". Select Color Management. There's a dropdown called "Color Handling" from which you can select seperations (if you have the appropriate drivers).

Then your drivers aren't setup properly.

If Illustrator sees your HP as a Postscript printer the the separations will be under Output in the print dialogue box, is it there but greyed-out?

He might just need to select the correct ppd in the print set up.

Just use the Adobe Postscript Driver in the Printer Dialogue Box rather than the HP.

If you already have the printer installed, then I believe that it should have already placed those ppds on your computer. They've never been something you had to get from elsewhere.
