Let me be so bold:

You've selected the standard 4MP driver, which is *not* a PostScript
driver but an HP PCL driver. The printer is printing exactly what you're
sending it, which is gobbledy-gook.

If you have an HP 4MP Postscript driver, then use that one; otherwise,
any standard PostScript driver will do.

Good luck, and let me know how it goes.
