How to share network printer w xp box?

[Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr.]

Joe,
I think that XP has the printer driver for the HP LaserJet 4 (if not you 
can download the driver) if you were to hit OK on that last dialog box. 
That last dialog box indicates that the printer is found, but just does 
not have the driver.

HPs Print drivers can be found on their website. Below is the link for 
the LaserJet 4.
