I have tried LOTS of 72 pin SIMMs in my lowly HP LJ 4M without success.
The printer RAM seems to be perpetually stuck at 2.0 MB, which is the soldered-on configuration.
Some Mac 72 pin SIMMs immediately cause an error during self-test.
Other Mac 72 pin SIMMs pass the self-test, but then don't appear to increase the RAM beyond 2.0 MB.
Are there ANY Mac 72 pin SIMMs which are known to work in the HP LJ 4M?
My experience with the LJ4M was that any good 72 pin SIMM would work in it, despite HP's protestations that one must use HP memory. In fact, one time I ordered an HP PaintJet 300XL with two HP brand 8 MB SIMMs only to find that their SIMMs would not work in the PaintJet and some generic 8 MB SIMMs I had on hand would.
Anyway, your 72 pin SIMMs should work in it. It's been several years since I've worked with an LJ4M. Do you need to tell the printer that it has additional memory in one of the configuration screens on the LCD panel? Alternatively, there may be a problem with your printer. Does the Postscript SIMM need to be in a particular slot? Hmmm. If you only have 2 MB of RAM, doesn't that mean that you don't have the Postscript SIMM installed? I thought the Postscript SIMM, in addition to adding Postscript took the printer up to 4 MB.
