Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an older printer and need to download a generic PCL4 driver that would work from Windows 10 (64bit). Any suggestions? I can only find PCL5 and PCL6 generic drivers. Thank you;

Hi @kschroe ,

 

It will be better to know the printer model you are looking for.

In this video, you will learn how to find your printer name and number. These are typically needed when using HP's customer care website to download the latest drivers for your printer, finding troubleshooting information, checking warranty status, and ordering replacement parts.

PCL 4 was used for only 4 models of HP printers and was quickly replaced with PCL5. As printers using PCL4 are antiques you are going to be hard pressed to find a driver to run them. But as requested already, please post the model of printer.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.
