Go to HP's site, enter your specific model and download the English driver set. They are by language.

Unfortunately just installing another language does not work.
Especially if it is a 3500 or 3600 series.

You need to REMOVE Every Last Trace of the old driver.
DLL(s), Registry entries, software.

Yes - that is true even when changing some drivers in the same language. H-P drivers are not that hard to remove - but you are right - you have to scrub the system and start over. That means completely uninstalling the printer, then scrubbing all folders and vestiges in the Registry.

As for learning Portuguese - not a bad idea. I once worked as an interpreter in Brazilian Portguese. :)
