Hey,

This happens when Windows sets the printer to Fax instead of the actual HP print driver. Go to Settings > Printers & scanners, select your HP printer, and make sure you choose HP Printing as the default, not Fax. If needed, remove the printer and reinstall it using the full HP driver package so Windows recognizes it as a printer and not a fax device.
