There might be other drivers offered besides the recommended one. Try those.
I tried several different ones, no success.
I had a look at https://openprinting.github.io/printers/, and this particular printer is not listed. The page might be out of date. It is also not on https://openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/HP
I think, that the printer is supported:
<https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index>
HP LaserJet 400 Color m451dw 3.12.2 Yes No Full Color No No USB,Network
Anyway, it's an quite old printer, just postscript, so it should work.

In case you have cups installed, I'd suggest to start it and then visit http://localhost:631 This should give you the "OpenPrinting CUPS ..." page with all possible options to control the default settings. BTW, which application do you use for printing? I'm on XFCE and most of the applications show a dialog to select the printer, change its settings etc. And, no, I only print to PDF in LibreOffice and then print the PDF using e.g. evince. HTH, cheers. l8er manfred
