Does your LJ4 have an RS-232 serial port or is that a parallel port? Either way, you'll need a WiFi print server with one of those connections. Do-able, but slightly rare.
You might be able to hunt down a jetdirect card, goes in that slot in the back and viola! An ethernet port for interfacing with any Wireless print server!

Recently, someone on this list suggested that I might be able to use a
wireless print server to hook up my printer.
Could this be made to work with my old HP LaserJet 4 laser printer that
now has an old style printer cable plugged in to an RS-232 port on one of
my old computers.
Now I have a newer computer that has only usb ports and no RS232 port.
So, I'd like to know if there is a way to connect that old HP LaserJet
printer to a wireless print server so I can send print jobs to it
wirelessly?
