Try the hpijs drivers from OpenPrinting.org. Be sure to install all three packages -- HPIJS, Foomatic-RIP, and Ghostscript.

If the HPIJS driver does not work for you, I would also try out Gutenprint.

The Gutenprint drivers do not support the HP DeskJet 1280.

Hi,

Use the exact same HPIJS drivers suggested by Matt above, it is compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 up to 10.8.
