Duh...  I just replied to Matthias privately and then I read this note.

I received a postcard in my box with my LaserJet 4.  I filled in all
the correct boxes and I received yesterday the Windows 3.0/3.1 drivers
along with drivers for Lotus 1-2-3 and Word Perfect 5.1

Windows part number-  HPB-13025/3
Lotus/WPerfect #-     HPB-15015/3

These are 3.5" diskettes so that's probably what the "/3" is for.
That's the size I asked for on the postcard.  Finally, I got a whole box
of free technical manuals by returning another card supplied with the
printer.  Check with your dealer or HP.  Maybe it's a domestic thing...

By the way, I am having a small problem with my printer.  It feeds two
or three pages stuck together about every other page.  Are you having
problems like this?  Any ideas?  I am going to go out tomorrow and
buy some different paper.  One of the manuals I got was a paper
specification document....
