PRINTING ISSUES HELP NEEDED PLEASE

[Peterw058]

Hi, I have just purchased a new HP 5032 printer and have set it up to my iphone (which prints fine) and also to my Sony Laptop running windows 7 which is where my problems start

If I attempt to print JPEG files this works fine, however I am unable to print any other files such as word docs, excel & PDF files which I need to print mostly. When trying to print a jpeg image the new printer is shown and prints OK as shown below

When I try to print any other file type the new printer is not even shown, an old printer that has been removed from the Laptop however is shown which is confusing as shown below 

Also when i attempt to make the new printer the default printer I get the following error message 

Any help would be appreciated please, I have tried removing and reinstalling the software on a couple of occasions with the same result 

Many thanks

Pete
