After downloading the printer driver from the link you provided, I still can't get printing to work from my wife's xp computer. The link you provided said that it was for a PostScript driver, but as far as I know, I am not using the HP LaserJet 4 Plus as a PostScript printer. Downloading from th

You said that the printer was on the LTP port of your linux server. It does not have an IP. The linux server has an IP and is sharing the printer. As your screenshots indicated, you pick the printer off of your linux server (which does not have the XP printer driver) and then use a downloaded x
