When ibm doesn't have the exact printing model in its list, I look for
something close, and verify from HP specs if supports PCL (404N supports
Print languages
HP PCL 6, HP PCL 5c, HP postscript level 3 emulation, PDF, URF, PWG Raster)

Can you show the device description you have.
This should work, and have used them
This is one
And also have more success with snmp driver

Subject: Printer problem with HP Laserjet Pro M404n

Hi,

A few weeks ago, I asked a question about setting up a HP Laserjet Pro m402n
printer and we were able to get it working with the settings of *HP4000 and
a system driver program of *IBMPJLDRV.

We bought a new printer that is slightly different and is model HP Laserjet
Pro m404n. We tried the exact same settings with it and as soon as you send
a spool file to the output queue to print, the writer job ends with CPD337C
"The session with device &1 ended abnormally". We followed the advice on
this page
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/configuration-settings-and-error-messages-
lan-3812-pjl-device-descriptions to try and correct it. No luck, same error
every time. We specified port 9100 on the device description. We also
tried the following things.

1. Font (I tried 11)
2. Manufacturer type and model (I tried *HP4 and *HP5SI and *RICOHAP3200)
3. System driver program (I tried *HPPJLDRV)

Ironically, on this page https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/644553 where
they list information about HP printers, they don't show an M404. Not sure
what that means. Anyone have any ideas?
