Troubleshooting
Choosing the right HP driver can be difficult. It's a hit-or-miss
affair to identify which HP DeskJet driver(s) will work when
printing to a serial port. You may have to install several different
printer DeskJet drivers before finding one that works with your
DeskWriter.

DeskJet 660 (Color) can often coexist on the same PC, each
directing output to the same COM port. So you can experiment
with different drivers to find the one with the best output and
feature set.

choices presented are usually a parallel or USB connection. After
installing the driver / adding the new printer, you must manually
