In general, yes. Some model-specific features won't work with other models, of course. For example the 4P does PostScript while the 4 does not. But as long as the customer confines himself to basic printing, the 4L driver should work properly with any of the 4-series printers.

WOW!? HP4P... I don't think you'll find a Vista Driver for that printer.
Try www.hp.com in the downloads section.
Good luck from a crusty old HP Printer Tech.

You mentioned parallel usb. The HP4L only has parallel. Make sure you specify LPT1 as the port you want. Try reinstalling the driver. It should be in the list of drivers.

Not all USB adapters are the same, you need the one that is made for your printer, I would try a different adapter before going too deep, because when you plug it in your computer should see it even without drivers.

I have a similar situation. Trying to print from a HP LaserJet 4 using a parallel cable to USB. It will not recognize the printer. What is the installation setup or what is the trick to get it to print?
