The printer is identified correctly and the pxlmono driver is suggested. If I don't touch any setting once the printer is added, I can print stuff just fine. Except that I use A4 paper not letter but if I change to A4 in the printer settings then the fun begins. the printer may or may not print correctly and it usually happens that it does not and spits out garbage.
When it does that, the first page that comes out has this on it
"PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCLXL ) HP-PCL XL;1;1; Comment Copyright Artifex Software"
And then it proceeds to empty the tray and every page that comes out has a bit of garbage printed at the top. I've tried switching driver to ljet4 and some others but none solved my issue
