How to hook up a 1320 printer connected to Windows XP to a Windows 8.1 x64 laptop?
Good day.
Given:
Windows XP sp3 desktop computer, HP1320 printer connected to it via USB, shared over the network. Other WinXP computers in the workgroup see it perfectly, connect, and print. But computers running Windows 8.1 see this printer on the network, but cannot connect to it.
The bottom line is this, I'm trying to feed Windows 8.1 any PCL 5 and 6 drivers, I don't want to digest anything at all. For a very long time looking for, looking for, looking for a solution to the problem, and then says that he did not find drivers. And if this printer is connected directly - it picks up instantly.
The printer is really very old, but nothing can be done about it.
I would be grateful for any solution.

Try like this.
1. Connect the printer directly to the PC with 8.1, make sure everything works.
2. Connect the printer back to the XP PC. Share the printer over the network.
3. On a PC with 8.1, add a new printer manually as follows.
Printers - printer installation - not in the list - add local or network with parameters manually - create a new port - set the port type to Standard TCP-IP Port, and specify the address of the PC with XP as the IP address.
