Recent printers are a pain!!!

Look in your printers' manual - somewhere you should find a reference
to earlier HP Deskjets which it is similar to.

As a last resort - you can use the lowest common denominator which
in your case will be HP Deskjet - the caveat here is that it will
only print in black (or dark green if you have a colour cartridge)

Take a look at HP's site they may well have a fix there too.
