If you have not done it,  download HP printer driver for your MacOS X, you need to download HP Printer Drivers for OS X and install the driver first before continuing. Unless you are printing poster,  in general if you choose “Generic Postscript”, your job should print ok.

If you want to use the driver for that specific printer, make sure the driver chose is a Postscript driver.  Choosing otherwise will cause your print job to print junk or wont print at all.  Please note that when we change printer in the future you will also need to modify your driver.
