Hi,


Do you have an appropriate printer driver?


If a suitable driver is not offered if you reset the printing system and (re-)add the printer, a software download may be needed.


The HP support web page seems to show drivers for older Mac operating systems only.


An HP Deskjet F4400 series (version 3.3.2) driver is mentioned in the article Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support. The package download (Post Date: Dec 11, 2020) HP Printer Drivers v5.1 for macOS can be found at https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1888?locale=en_US . This may or may not work with your computer and macOS Big Sur; it would be entirely experimental. Make sure that you have backup copies of important files (documents, photos, et cetera) before any tests.
