A warm welcome to HP forums! This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries.

As per this document, HP Deskjet 1280 Printer is not supported in macOS 10.9 Mavericks. HP Deskjet 1280 driver for macOS 10.9 are not available from the HP website or Apple Software Update. However, Gutenprint (formerly called Gimp-Print) provides open-source basic print drivers for many printers that would otherwise not be supported in Mac OS X. To see if your printer is supported, go to Gutenprint drivers for more information.

NOTE: 

Gutenprint drivers are not supported by HP or Apple.
