The laserjet 4 is a standard driver already included in windows xp. You shouldn't actually need to download anything. When installing the printer you should be able to choose HP from the list and then navigate to HP Laserjet 4 in the list. When you do this it may need the windows disk if you don't have the i386 directory copied to your PC. If that's the case then just pop in the windows CD and point it to "CD-Rom"\i386 and it should find the drivers on its on.

How to detect and test a printer or any other device

Ubuntu live CD (that we can get free or make copy) detects a lot of drivers. For example hp laserjet p2015 so you can print you document on ubuntu form your hard drive if your printer can't work with vista. The amizing thing is that you don't have to install ubuntu, just boot from the CD/DVD and when you finish shut down the computer and remove the CD witout any effects on your current operating system

Color printed pages are too light.

  • Troubleshooting Setup and Install If your device is not recognized:
    • Verify that your cable is USB 2.0 high-speed compliant.
    • Ensure that your cable is connected correctly. Remove the USB cable, look at the end of the cable, and then match it to the pattern on the USB port. Make sure that it is not upside down. Insert one end of the USB cable completely into the USB port on the HP device and the other end into the back of the computer.
    • Check that the peripheral is turned on. Peripherals will not be recognized if the power is off.
    • Ensure that your USB cable is no more than 15 feet or 5 meters in length.
    • Check that the USB port is enabled. Some computers ship with disabled USB ports.

Hp LaserJet 1320 will not print multiple copies

This problem is caused by Mopier Mode being enabled by default. The idea of Mopier Mode is to minimise computer and network traffic by sending only 1 copy to a printer equiped with suitable internal memory. That stored copy is then used to produce the multiple copies. Most HP Laserjets do not have suitable internal memory and so only the one copy sent by the computer gets printed. To disable Mopier Mode:
Click Start
Click Devices and Printers
Right click your Laserjet Printer
Select Printer Properties
Click the Device Settings Tab
Scroll down to the bottom
If necessary, expand Installable Options
Click on Mopier Mode
Select Disable in the selection box that appears
Click Apply
You will now get multiple copies.

HP Laser Jet 1320 Printer installation SPAM BELOW AT 1*800*532*4187

Just downloading the PCL5 driver was not enough for my computer. Maybe it is enough for other users' computers. But in addition to downloading the drivers, i had to also download and install the "HP Laserjet 1320 plug and play print driver solution" at the bottom of the driver list. Save the file to your desktop, double-click it and follow instructions to install, then reboot. Then when I checked my printer list, the HP Laserjet 1320 was there. I printed a test page, and now i am good to go. Hope this helps.
