The jobs will be announced with the establishment of a global services desk.
The firm already employs around 4,000 people in Ireland at its bases in Dublin, Leixlip, Galway and Belfast. Managing Director of Hewlett Packard Ireland Martin Murphy said the company has plans for further growth over the coming years.
The multi-lingual technical support centre will employ a range of people, including high-end graduates, and an element of the operation will also involve research and development.
300 jobs are to be brought on line immediately.
The new support service will deal with HP customers in 16 European languages.

Hewlett-Packard announced plans to cut more than 24,000 jobs worldwide, about 7.5 percent of its global workforce. HP and newly acquired EDS have a combined total of around 320,000 employees.
The good news for Ireland is that a half the job cuts will be in the US.
Here in Ireland HP employs more than 4,000 staff in its main operation is a manufacturing plant at Leixlip in Kildare, where cartridges for inkjet printers are made and in the software and localisation centre in Galway. It seems unclear if Irish jobs would be lost as a result of the cuts at this stage.
