Some of the printer drivers on the Windows 95
disk are crap. I have switched over to
Adobe's PostScript driver for Win95 (and 3.11),
which you can get from
http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/download.html
You can also get the latest PPD for that printer
from the same site. (When the install utility
asks you to select your printer, you point it
to the directory containing that PPD file.)
I haven't had any trouble printing to my
HP LaserJet 4/4M Plus since.
