You need to go into printer properties/details page, and then end capture on the printer port.
Does Your HP printer work ok under this "Epson printer port" ?
If you right click the printer port in device manager, find out what drivers the port is using. Then delete them in safe mode, remove the port from device manager and when you reboot windows should put the port back as a Printer port
