I'm using a software called VueScan, which has drivers for almost all scanners and works well. Maybe you should test it?

All lot of those printers came with two separate driver's disc. Make sure that you are installing the correct for the mac and not windows. If you are you can go to the hp website and do a search on there website for the driver for mac operating system.

The continuous printing issue can be fixed following this link

Regarding Gibberish printing or say garbage printing, If the above utility does not fix this issue, probably the printer drivers are corrupted, and you may have to uninstall the printer software from your pc and download and reinstall the latest drivers. this link below will let you choose the operating system of your PC and download the drivers

Its a huge posibility that the drivers you are currently using is not compatible with the device. There are many reasons for the same:

• The drivers installed is not compatible with the windows installed on the computer.

Hi, as per HP's support page on this product here

It seems that there aren't any drivers compatible with Leopard for this printer at the moment. The latest OS supported is Mac OS X Tiger... You will have to wait untill HP do something for leopard...
