Printer compatibility Ventura OS to HP Deskjet F300 series

My old Mac (I think it had Lynx) died.

I have a new one. It has Ventura 13.2. It seemed to connect to my HP Deskjet F380, let me select it and showed the window of print options, but when I pushed "Print" the icon showed on the dock for a split second and then disappeared, no printing.

When I go to settings, I can bring up the printer and it shows nothing in the print queue.

This printer does not have wireless compatibility.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.2

1) Reset Printer Settings

2) Download HP Easy Start, choose from the top menu: HP Easy Start > Uninstall HP Software

3) Download and install drivers: Sterowniki drukarek Hewlett-Packard v5.1.1 dla OS X (PL)

4) Add normaly printer from Printers & Scanners preference section, choose HP Deskjet F300 drivers from the list.

That printer model was manufactured in 2006 making it 17 years old. HP has discontinued support for it, including new drivers. The recommended replacement model by HP is an HP DeskJet 3755 All-in-One Printer which sells for $104 USD.

Thanks for taking the time to respond and for the helpful info on the replacement.

I was hoping there was a work-around since the printer does show up on my laptop and I have 5 unused ink cartridges. Grrrr. :-(
