This printer is actually my friend's.  We installed the PS driver.
After reading your comments, I found this HP site.

I will have to check on the DIMM. Sounds like it needs 6MB in order to
work correctly.  I will get back to you on the printer cable
manufacturer.

Someone had suggested I install an alternate usb driver.

I will report back after we've tried all these.

Thanks for your time.
