Review:
The HP LaserJet 4L printer using HP LaserJet 4L toner works perfectly in a home office or small business setting. It has many great features packed into the printer. Who knew that it would work so great and it’s the first of its kind energy saver. It’s now discontinued but if you’re running a home network this printer is a great addition. It adds easily to any existing network. Even though it’s old installing it is a breeze.
OS Verification:
First verify what OS is installed to the computer. Most of the time it is Windows XP, but it could be something much lower or higher. The good thing is this printer could be used with any operating systems. Mac versions and Linux operating systems are able to be used with this printer. MS-DOS that’s older then 1995 can even be configured to use with this printer. To verify that it will work with the PC in question, make sure you check the operating system.
Installing Drivers:
You will then need to install all drivers that came with the hardware. The software is needed during this process. Place the CD into the CD drive and run the setup file. Remember to always check for updates once it is installed. The drivers on the CD will be outdated so it may not work properly without updates.
Printer Cable:
The parallel cable is used with this printer to connect it to the computer. It has two parallel ends where one goes into the back of your printer and the other to the computer. This cable does have major differences then the USB connection such as the printing time per page will vary.
Configure Software:
The computer has the ability to change certain things within the printer, such as the time frame it is actually available to print. Other things can be changed. for example the time it will start printing. It could either be started immediately or after it is spooled. These changes can be made to fit a specific need.
Networking:
If there is a home network available, add your printer to it. All computers in the office can print from the same PC if added properly. There is an easy setup wizard that helps add the printer to the network. Usually on Windows 2000 and up to Windows Vista will work with this setting. Mac and Linux should also be able to connect this printer to a network.

This will show if anything needs to be changed, such as color scheme, where the top of the page begins, and including if you need more ink. Check the speed of your printer also. Verify it comes out properly and there are no paper jams. It will say Print Page Successful.
