Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are getting default errors while printing, I am glad to assist you.

How is the printer connected, through USB or Wireless?

Did you uninstall the printer driver from the root level before installing the new driver?

Meanwhile:- 

This seems to be a driver issue, follow these steps to fix the issue.

Perform root level uninstallation to remove all the printer related software's.

• In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.
• Select your HP printer.
• Select Uninstall.
• In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers.
• In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”
• Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
• Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
• Click on Drivers tab.
• Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click Remove at the bottom.
• Select OK.
• Remove all instances of the same.
• Select Apply and OK on the Print Server Properties windows.
• Close Devices and Printers. 
• Restart the PC again.

Thank you , issue is now resolved.  It seem that even though I entered the correct model number, 6234, it was picking up the  wrong printer type - 6000 series.  Now work8ng f8ne.
