HP Laserjet 2100 default driver is bad

Hello. I and trying to install an old HP Laserjet 2100 on my iMac. The Mac recognizes the printer, but only a never end stream of random ascii characters are printed. I have downloaded and installed “new” drivers from both HP and Apple. Neither seem to work. Between driver installes I have deleted the folder library/Printers/HP

The iMac is a late 2013 running High Sierra 10.13.5

Any’suggestions?

Thanks
Monty
