Solve : HP LaserJet? |
|
Answer» I have a very old HP Laser Jet 4 Plus that I am trying to get working with Win 7. I think once I got it to print out one page. The computer seems to download all the necessary software, but it still doesn't work. I am using a cable with a usb connector at the computer end as my computer doesn't have a serial port.Have you installed the printer driver?It probably has no Win7 DRIVERS available...Oops - Missed the W7. You are absolutely right of course. Had to dump my old HP4 YEARS ago - loved that printer.Win 7 searched for and found drivers. It had to search further than from the initial list. I am puzzled-if it installed the drivers, why doesn't it work? If I installed a virtual drive, WOULD it work from it?

I am puzzled-if it installed the drivers, why doesn't it work? If I installed a virtual drive, would it work from it? I very much doubt you are RUNNING drivers that are for win7. I would try to upgrade to a new printer, or attach the printer to a computer that can use it.. XP etc.Well, I UNDERSTAND where you're comin' from, but I'm not quite ready to divorce my old reliable laserjet. I think maybe I should create a work-around. I have two ideas in mind, a virtual drive (with XP) or Ubuntu (which I have on a flash drive). Are either one of these doable?You can also dual boot to XP if you like.I'm discussing that in another thread. |
