Can't get proper HP printer settings dialog, only featureless generic Windows Print settings.

So I have an HP Deskjet 3050 J610, connected via wifi.  I can print from it just fine, but I only have the standard Windows printing options, which are very limited.  I don't get any color options, or printing on both sides, or anything like that.  Basically my only options are "print in grayscale" and "print in Max DPI".  So I presume I am using generic printer drivers, instead of the proper HP drivers.  I remember I once had it working right, and it had a nice HP dialog with pictures that would ask me if I want to print for a presentation, or draft, or print on both sides, etc.
But I already have the proper HP drivers installed.  So I run "HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series.exe" in the HP printer drivers folder.  I click "connect to a new printer".  I click 'wireless'.  It finds my printer.  I select it under "model name", and press 'next'.  It sets up the printer properly, but when I try to go and print with it, I'm still presented with the crippled generic windows print dialog!
How do I get the nice HP drivers settings dialog back again?
EDIT: I'm on Windows 8.1 Preview.  I have also tried to set up the printer on a Windows 7 laptop, using the same driver download from the official HP website, and that laptop too also only gets to use the generic windows printing dialog!  What am I doing wrong?

the same info is not under Help or in the Pages manual under printing options.
Perfectly normal.
The Print dialog doesn't belong to Pages but to the operating system.
So, it's use is described in the operating system help.
Here is an example of what we may find in this help :

  • How can I get Acrobat Reader X to send my pdf to the printer?

    My pdf just looks at me while I push all of the buttons, file menus and keyboard shortcuts associated with printing and it does nothing. No dialog box, no nothing. All three of my printers work and i've tried them all. It just doesn't do anything. Any suggestions? I really need help here.

    There are only two things that you must do to connect a device to calendars:
    1)  In settings>icloud, you must log in, WITH THE CORRECT ID/PASSWORD, and
    2)  Turn on calendars on the same page.
    You said that the iphone 4 and ipad **used** to automatically sync.  Do they no long sync?

    Mac 101: Printing (OS X Lion)
    Important:
    Your OS X Lion system will either have the necessary printing software already installed, or it will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper.  Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
    The procedures are identical for Mountain Lion.

    I can't get new versions of itunes to install on my windows computer. Any Suggestions? Every time I try, it downloads OK but when it proceeds to the install, I keep getting the same error message about a program in the installer not finishing as expected.  It quits the install and that's that.  Very frustrating.
