Q: HP printer probem

Hello - since I updated to 10.8.3, my HP Photosmart wireless all in one premium printer has been performing sporadically. First, everything I try to print gets converted tot a pdf file; secondly, the printer alsways goes into pause mode, and I hae to manually run it; third, it often prints a grid indteadof the document. Susally afte rthe third or forth try it will print, but I can't go through this process every time. Is there a patch or wrokaround I don't know about? Thanks for any help you can offer.

There are many different HP Photosmart printers. Some are AirPrint capable, which would make them easier to use with Apple gear.

Here's an article that should help:
