You have a number of problems with this setup.  First, you are running Win
98 on a 486 with 16 Mb of RAM.  You have hardly any memory for the printer
and the installation.  My recollection is that the Laserjet II is a DOS
printer.  Has your friend tried a www.google.com search for drivers?  That
might be a good place to start, but with a 486 and 16 Mb, he is not going to
get very good results with any printer.  He has few resources for anything
beyond the OS.  Joel

You don't mention if you tried using win98's built in drivers for the Xerox
4215 PCL.  The PCL drivers are based on HP technology, rather than
postscript.  You should also look on the win98 cd for a drivers\printers
folder.  Win95 had some cool stuff for obsolete peripherals, mostly display
hardware, but its worth a look.

My firend has a Xerox 4010 (4011?) laser printer that he is having trouble
getting to work. He tried a set of disks from a friend who has an HP laser -
but it is No 5 and the xerox in question is like a Series II HP Laserjet.
Can get the thing to print -but not clearly - not hieroglyphics, one can
just recognise the text but that is all.

He is installing it on a PC 486 with 16 Meg RAM running Win98.
