Thanks to this thread, my HP Laserjet 4 is working with Win 7 - 64 bit.
I bought a USB - parallel cable and followed the instructions (start - devices and printer etc) to install a new printer, initially accepting LPT1. Didn't work.
The second time I tried it, based upon a post by mikkijc (thanks very much), I used the "virtual printer port for USB", and the printer now works.
I made a point of stating that my Win is 64 bit, since in looking at other online info, there was a suggestion that only 32 bit will work with this ancient but still very functional printer. Not correct.
End to a frustrating couple of hours.
