Being compatible to the older monochrome DeskJet models this printer will work with various drivers.

For basic printing functionality use the HPIJS driver . For advanced functionality such as printer status and maintenance features, use the HPLIP driver (which includes HPIJS).

This printer has a 600x300-dpi-REt mode which is probably not accessable with free software.
