It's not surprising at all; both the printer and the video driver interact, since both provide services to and rely on common routines from a layer called the GDI, or Graphical Device Interface. Windows has been plagued by certain driver interactions between the print and video layers since day one.

In this case, it's unlikely that it's a driver interaction - HP simply has a rep for releasing buggy drivers, going back to the wee early days of Win3.x, and I hate to say it, in the past couple of years, their rep has gotten worse!
