HP Laserjet 4 ML driver for Windows 7

[guest]

I had trouble finding how to get my HP Laserjet 4 printer to work in Windows 7.

My research indicates it would run in Vista using built in drivers, but I didn't have or use Vista. I also tried driversguide, and HP site just says "supported"

When I used one of the available earleir drivers I always get the error message:
"W2 INVALID PERS"

OK Solved it now. Lots of drivers in a package for HP laserjets. Go to the Windows Update page and download the package; here:
Microsoft Update Catalog

2 ways to add the printer.

First, you can go to Microsoft Update Catalog and then search for the drivers and download them.

Second, when you go to add your printer, select "not in list" and then when the list of printers comes up, click on "Windows Update".

It will likely take a few minutes before the printer list reappears. Once it does, go down, click on HP and the Laserjet 4 will now appear.

Go ahead and install.

Now... if anyone knows how to get the laserjet 4 driver for Windows 7 added to my Server 2003 share... so that i can install the printer over my home network without individually manually adding it on each of my 3 machines, that would be cool.

Hope this helps.

I was able to use my Laserjet 4 with no problem. Just go to "add a printer" and select "windows update." There will be a selection for the Laserjet 4.
