    HP laserJet 4 Plus using Paraelle Port IEEE-1284 prints with random gibberish with Windows 10


    I am having a problem getting my LaserJet 4 to print properly. This printer has been connected to the Manhattan IEEE-1284 parallel port USB to LPT since I had Windows 7 and worked great. Then I upgraded to Windows 10 recently and it was still working perfectly after I made some adjustments. Then with no support and part of my computer not being compatible with Windows 10, I bought my HP Pavilion Desktop computer Intel Core i5 9400. I took a bit to get the HP Laser Jet 4 to print. Although, every 7 or so pages I get a little bit of gibberish and bar codes don't print well at all. I use this printer a lot for printing out 100 page documents at a time and I need this to work! Please help!!! I seriously need this printer to work correctly.

    :)

    Install HP LaserJet 4M Plus

    Printer is connected to router with EtherNet cable, was able to print test page which gives IP Address of: 10.0.0.81, and did find drivers but attempting to install with any of the LaserJet 4 drivers listed below, gives the error message, "Printer Driver was not installed".

    This printer has both Postscript and PCL personalities.

    Thumbnail sketch of what I did:

    Settings>Devices>Printers & Scanners>Add Printer and Scanner>[Clicked on the text, "the printer I want isn't listed"]>chose "Add a local printer" using existing port 10.0.0.81>did Windows Update and each of the following LaserJet drivers for this model of printer failed to install:

    HP LaserJet 4 Plus
    HP LaserJet 4/4M Plus PS 300
    HP LaserJet 4/4M Plus PS 600
    HP LaserJet 4/4M PS
    HP LaserJet 4/4M PS (300 dpi)


    the USB port mentioned in the 400 day old post on this topic was not a choice.

    rig is an i9 7900X running at 4.5GHz w/32 GB Ram with an Asus X299 MOBA.

    Windows 10 Driver for HP LaserJet 4


    I tried this after doing a clean install of Windows 10. The list of printers that comes up does not include the Laserjet 4 plus which is the printer I am trying to connect via usb. How do I get that to come up?
