Printer driver

Where can I get a printer driver for a HP Photosmart C309a series printer that will work on macOS Monterey 12.3.1? Do they even exist? If they don't exist, what's a workaround?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.3

Thanks. I checked but they don't have one.


My printer was working and then stopped for some unknown reason. The problem is definitely software, not hardware. The printer will print an engineering oriented page as it tries to "align" itself. When I send a print job to the printer over my wireless network, I get various responses including "The printer is not responding", "Printing - Connecting to printer", "ready to print", "unknown error", "Paused", etc. Is there any way to print with some generic software? Any help would be much appreciated.
