This is why Microsoft is merely a gaming platform to me. I will host it somewhere and link it here once I find it.įunny how I can still run the LJ4, and even old parallel port dot-matrix printers on any modern Linux distribution. I will obviously have to locate and archive the driver installed on my system if I ever want to use the printer on a fresh install or new system. Microsoft has been abandoning older hardware devices since 2000, and this is just another nail in the coffin. I sat with him and attempted the entire process myself to no avail. However, my son had attempting to install the driver on his Win10 system several weeks ago, and the driver is no longer available in the second list after searching windows update. The driver went missing sometime in 2018 - I know this because I built my system in December of 2017, and it contains my current Win10 installation which indeed had the Laserjet4 driver at that time - yes via the 'searchWindows update' option during printer install. Is there (a) a printer driver available for the LaserJet 4 (no suffix), or (b) a driver for any other HP printer in the list that will work for the laserJet 4 printer that will work in the Windows 10 environment ? I'm at my wit's end here. All my attempts to install drivers for any LaserJet 4(X) printer fails. but now I have a driver installed for a printer I don't own. If I try and select any of other "similar" Laserhet 4(X) models, then NEXT, then NEXT to "Printer Name", the driver install begins, but terminates before finishing, with the error message "Printer Driver Was Not Installed".ĩ) If I repeat 1-8 and select some totally unrelated printer, it MAY finish the install. The updated list in (7) returns a larger number of printers, including several printers in the LaserJet 4X series (4 Plus, 4/4M Plus, 4/4M PS, 4L, etc.), but nothing for the Laserjet 4 specifically.
I am familiar with and have used the following process on my Windows 10 machine:ģ) Select "The printer I want Isn't Listed"Ĥ) Select "Add a Local Printer or Network Printer with Manual Settings", then NEXTĦ) Select "USB001 (Virtual Printer Port for USB)", then NEXTħ) On "Install the Printer Driver" page, pick "HP" for Manufacturer, then click "Windows Update" to get updated list of printers. I've been tryin g unsuccessfully unable to find a printer driver for my LaserJet 4 printer (not 4P, 4M, 4 Plus, etc., just a plain LaserJet 4) that will install on a Windows 10 (64-bit Professional version) machine ?
