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.

On my old IBM Thinkpad running kubuntu Linux, I have an old HP LaserJet 4

Please see this screen-shot:

This works fine as a network printer for my other Linux machines, but I
can't get it to work for my wife's laptop running xp.

Below are 4 screen-shots of what I see when I try to get my wife's xp to
use the HPLaserJet4 on my network.

Some other print driver options for the HP LaserJet 4 Plus are shown at
this screen-shot:

How can I find the ip address of the HP LaserJet 4 printer on my network?

Or, what else can I do to get this to work?

Joe
