In the PC world, a Laserjet 4 (plain 4) driver will run many models of printers...I'm guessing a 6P included. But...someone else mentioned postscript...which I know is an Apple thing, and I know almost nothing about... Regardless, I would tell your Mac it's a Laserjet 4 and see what happens... Wesley
_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Android Sent: Saturday, June 08, 2013 9:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Old apple Printers Hi all, Until recently I had a HP laserjet 4ML which worked very well with my Mac Quadra 950 OS 7.6.1. The gear on the main motor cracked. I found a used printer locally, a HP laserjet 6P, but I am unsure if it will work with the Quadra, and if it will, how hard it will be for me to install the required software or drivers. My internet access is PC only, and we all know the issues with the vintage Mac "fork" file system and PC saved files. I did take a look on the Quadra for drivers, but I really do not know where to look. Chooser has a thingy I can click on for HP Postscript printers, or Laser writer 8. I also found a place called "DeskTop Printers" in which are a few icons relating to HP laserjet 4M, laserjet 4ML, HP 2200 and laserwriter 12/640. In addition to the broken 4ML printer I have, I also have an apple laserwriter 16/600 PS, which needs a toner cartridge before I can try it on the quadra. Will the HP Laserjet 6P work on my system without any additional software/drivers? Will the 16/600 work without any additional software or drivers? Where can I learn more about old Macs and printers?
