trying to print, windows encountered a problem...?

i recently purchased an HP deskjet f4280 to replace a printer that had an internal problem. since installing the deskjet when i try to print i get a pop up stating that windows encountered a problem with the options debug, send error report, don't send. prior to my last printer's internal problems i could print fine. before installing the new printer i got no error message, the computer would think the page had printed, but nothing would happen on the printer side.

this is the only new device

i have uninstalled and reinstalled

i have been to the site and installed the driver

the printer will print a page when i initially start it up, but not the test page from the computer to the printer

i am unsure what details you would need from the error report, but i can bring it up to tell you if necessary.

    Have you been to HP site:

    or have you properly uninstall the driver, then restart your system then reinstall your printer driver again, while installing driver do not set the USB connector the printer to your computer.

    Hope it help.
