I have a Deskjet 812c at home and it works. I'm pretty sure I'm using
the hpijs driver.

Suggestions: 1) tell your computer it's an 812c, or some other model
number, and see if that makes a difference. Most HP deskjets share
drivers to a large extent, so using a slightly different one sometimes
works. 2) try using something other than hpijs, and see if any of them
work. 3) Did you forget to take the little plastic tape thingy off the
cartridges?

Good luck,
Matt
