Hi @haroldwallis

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you.

 

The printer driver for HP Photosmart 8150 Photo Printer is not available on the HP Support site. You may install the printer using Windows built-in driver.

Refer to this document to know how.

 

Check the print settings on the PC

Refer to this document. Select the print quality to 'Best' or 'Normal' and try printing. This can be found under 'Print quality and improvement settings' on the attached document.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
