That model is old enough that HP no longer provides a current macOS driver for it, and it doesn’t support AirPrint. HP does list it as supporting PCL 5/6 and PostScript, though.
I’d try adding it again in System Settings > Printers & Scanners. In the “Use” menu, try Generic PCL Printer or Generic PostScript Printer instead of looking for an HP driver. Apple specifically supports using a generic PCL or PostScript driver for printers like this.
If the printer is connected by Ethernet, adding it by its IP address may work better than USB. I wouldn’t reset the whole printing system yet.
