cannot find printing to card options on preferences

[khaosandink]

I have a new laptop and it couldn't find my printer so I found a driver on HP and downloaded it. I can print to it but before I had loads of printing options for example to card, photo paper, high quality, borderless etc. Now when I go to preferences I have very limited options, hardly anything is there, its basic. I need the option to print on card, and change quality etc. Its almost like the driver is a very old version and I have gone back in time. Is there an updated newer driver like I had before on my old laptop? I cant use it like it is. I had loads of options before and I need them back! Thanks
