I have an old Laserjet 4L and want to attach it to my Windows 7 Ultimate X64 system. I attached the printer with a USB cable and Windows recognized the printer immediately and installed the driver. It looked like all was fine, but when I try to print to the printer, nothing prints. The print job goes into the queue and sits there. What do I need to do to get the printer to print?

Thanks for the suggestion. HP's site says that Windows 7 includes the driver. There is nothing else available from HP.
