Installing HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for OS X worked for me!
I had the same problem with my old HP Deskjet F300 All-in-one (2006 I believe) and a brand new Macbook Pro. After installing the driver and software that I have saved for years for this printer I was unable to print files either from the web, preview or Photoshop but I was able to print the test page from the printer utilities for some reason. Then downloaded the HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for OS X and after installing them ( installation took longer than expected btw ) the printer was once again recognized and was able to print normally. The latter install also replaced/erased the software/utilities from the first drivers I installed.
Hope this helps!

Thank you for being a part of HP Forums. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries.
I believe we can add the print driver using Apple Software Update. Here is how to do it:
1.) Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
2.) Click Printers & Scanners, Print & Scan, or Print & Fax.
3.) If your printer is listed, click the name of your printer, then click the minus sign
to delete the printer.
4.) Click the plus sign
, click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer.
5.) Click the Use or Print Using menu, then select the name of your printer.

6.) Click Add to add the printer to the list.
Let me know how it goes!

There was an issue with HP Easy Start not locating the software on macOS Mojave. This was resolved last night (9/26/18).
HP Easy Start should now locate the appropriate software for download.
HP Easy Start version 2.9 is the latest supported version for Mojave.

That's unfortunate, not to worry, let's try adding an alternate print driver using Apple Software Update. Let's try these steps:
1.) Connect the printer to PC using a USB cable.
2.) Download and install HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for OS X from here.
3.) Click the Apple menu, then click System Preferences.
4.) Depending on your operating system version, click Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners.
5.) If your printer is listed, click the printer name, click the minus sign
to delete the printer.
6.) Click the plus sign
, click Add Printer or Scanner.
7.) Select the listed Deskjet printer.
8.) Click the drop-down menu next to Use or Print Using and click on Select Printer Software.
9.) Select the HP Deskjet 3050A series.
10.) Click OK to confirm your selection and add the printer, then try printing using the configured print queue.
Keep me posted!

I'd like to help!
Are you using a Deskjet 2135 printer?
Have you tried installing the HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for OS X?
Have you tried using HP Easy start?
How is the printer connected, USB or Wireless?
Let me know!

Thank you
No, I'm using a Laserjet CP1025nw.
I tried the 5.1 drivers to no avail
I tried HP Easy start unnecessarily
USB
"Filter failed" error
Apple advised me to remove Mojave and return to Sierra, I think I will
