It sounds like the drive might be causing a problem. Have
you tried using a HP LaserJet 4 driver with it?
What happens if you try to make the printer your default
printer?
check out this article on how to make the system use a
different driver for your printer:

>The printer is an HP LaserJet 1200. When I logon through
Terminal Server, I can see the printer. I cannot make the
printer my default printer. I can send a document to the
printer. It appears in the 'print que'. I then receive
an error message "Cannot connect to printer. Cancel or
Retry". If I retry, I get the same message. The driver
installed on the Terminal Server is for W2000. Do we need
to install the driver for Windows XP, since the client
computer is running XP?
