hp deskjet 1510 series won't print

[Elisabeeth]

We mloved recently to  la Gomera (Canarian isle)  and there I bought a hp deskjet 1510. It won't print when connected to my lap top, also HP with Windows vista, although it is connected, is on, and is the default printer. I tried everything the print and scan doctor suggested (like switch off fire wall, chekc print ooler, remove and reinstall driver and software  etc) and everything else I found in support from HP. it still does not print. When connected to our other lap top, also HP but with windows 7, it works fine. The only thing I managed to print is a diagnostic page but it give only numbers and letters like SN = CN39a19mmp05yr 21 PG =81 12 PER = -5yr 22 FB = 0/0 etc. Tjat does nog help me :-(.  does anybody know how to solve this?

Thankyou very much. Helped alot. Printer now works. Who would have guessed that a 1510 wil print on a 6980???? The numbers are so close I must have misunderstood.

Thankyou Jabzi for your help. Now the only problem I need to troubleshoot is half printed words. 

Much regards
