I will try your method. But your Laserjet 6P is on my Windows 8.1
printer list - maybe it came when I clicked the update button to get
more printers.


The Laserjet 6P is a bog-standard workhorse, if dated. I don't know why
there was a problem.


I have a LaserJet 4M+. I had a bit of a struggle for Windows 10, but
found them in the end (actually Windows 8.1 drivers, I think).

A generic PCL or PostScript driver seemd to be acceptable, anyway.
