#LaserJet 4L (Wndw prntg)
Message #270717
I have a 4L which experienced many of the problems that others have been mentioning (Cable not connected message…..) When I spoke to an HP technician I was told to use LPT1.DOS rather than LPT1. My problems cleared up but now I no longer get the messages that the printer…
Hi Maarten, Have you tried to reinstall the drivers for your 4L? Protecting part of the forum should not change anything as far as the printer is concerned. Just a shot in the dark. Bud
HP 4Si escape characters
Message #270707
WHich commands do you need? dBase IV does provide basic setup commands for the LJ4-series – they cover "regular" and "compressed", and portrait / lanscape page orientations, but that's about it. It's far from being a complete printer driver, but check the documentation again. The problem is that the original…

Lawrence- The replacement toner for the 4V/4MV is the C3900A. When your toner is low, you should get a message on the front panel that says "16 Toner Low". As far as prices, check with your local retailers. —///Andy Fredrick

#4V OIL on page?
Message #270660
Hello All, When I fired up the HP 4V and ran the first sheet of the day, it had what appears to be oil on it. What appears to be three rather large streaks which started at the left side of the printed page and went almost to the right…

#Paper jam on LJ 4's
Message #270651
We have a couple of Laserjet 4 Plus printers that report paper jams when the lower cassette runs out of paper. No jam, just out of paper. The printer has to be switched off & back on to reset it as far as I can tell.

Hi. I'm on the verge of buying an HP 4+. However, with the new 5P/5MP just out, I'm wondering if HP is planning a new 12PPM-class laser in the next month or two… Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Annie: Thanks. My point was that since so many of us use online services it would seem prudent that HP provide information electronically. Best, – Harry –

NDS Support
Message #270629
I have the token ring cards running under NDS. You must create a print server, a printer and a print queue and assign the print queue to the printer and the printer to the print server. In Jetadmin specify the print server name, the tree name and the context. Do…

#4P Graphics Prnt. Probs
Message #270615
I am having trouble printing most types of graphics on my LaserJet 4P. The problem may be due to an out of date driver (which I will be looking to upgrade after this message), but essentially I get a mix of correct print and garbage when printing from applications like…
