>To put it mildly, HP drivers rot! Use a printer driver that came with Windows.
I've found another trick that works well most of the time, especially if you're not sure what driver to use: use an HP driver of the previous printer version, if one exists :) Usually the newest ones are definitely buggy, but the previous printer-driver versions have been patched up pretty well by that point.
