Cant install HP psc 1402 series driver for windows 8...please help!!!!!!!!!?

Question

I recently switched to windows 8...Upto that time everything was working fine...so when i upgraded to win 8 i downloaded the driver files for hp psc 1402 series...but when i start the installation ,the setup starts but it cannot detect my product...so after many attemps it finally detected it...and it installed the following devices-

1)HP imaging device

2)HP Printer

3)Photosmart 1400 (Dotf4Print)

It couldnt install the main component i.e HP Psc 1400 Series ...I manually tried install it from device manager but it couldnt find the driver

So i intalled this device from a old xp driver for hp 1400...

but the problem is that now when i print a document from my pc ...it does not print the tables...

please help me as soon as possible.. as i need to print an admit card for my interview before 13 of april.

i dont want to downgrade to win xp..

Please note that im still using win xp driver for hp psc 1400 series as i coundnt intall the win 8 version.
