It may work if you use the PCL3 Class Driver2 and set the port as the USB001.

how do I 'add printer'

and which plug is usb1
There is a 600 series driver in the Windows 7 printer database. I used a DeskJet 800 series printer on Windows 7. It did not work on Windows 8  and is now gone.

are you writing that you are sure printer will not connect
My 800 series printer would NOT work in Windows 8 and the 600 series is earlier. It is gone so I cannot test it in my Windows 10 machine. The printer is over a decade old (at least in initial design and release).
This HP page lists all their printers and compatibility with Windows 10:

Only problem is it doesn't list the 622.
Is it a really old printer? If so then it won't be compatible.
By the way, the DeskJet is not a USB printer; it is a parallel port printer.

do you know where page is with all the specs

I thought it was usb printer but I am solving this problem remotely
There is no 622 printer - just 610 and 612 (which is my recollection). Printing is via parallel cable. See:

It was originally designed for Windows 3.1

are you sure it is a 622 model and not a 6220 model - which is usb and wireless?
