Add old HP LaserJet 4050 shared from XP client to Windows Server 2008 R2

I have a few old HP printers and none have NICs.  I will use one as an example.  HP LaserJet 4050 Series printer is directly connected via LPT1 port/Parrallel cable to the XP x86 client.  The HP LJ 4050 is shared.   I have to add the 64 bit drivers for the 4050 on a Server 2008 R2.  The part that I'm getting stuck at is the drivers.  I've spent a good deal of time researching this today and in the past.

I tried to follow numerous technet threads, but came to dead ends.

I was able to add the 64 bit driver using the link above's suggestions, but then I couldn't use the driver even when I tried to add a new printer and pointed to the System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\xxx\x.inf for the driver. I tried using the HP Universal PCL6 & PCL5 drivers before I tried adding the HP LJ 4050 PCL6 driver from Windows Updates, via the Print Management console.

I also tried changing the driver on the XP client.  I tired adding Universal Printing PCL6 driver from HP's website but got PCL errors when I printed from the XP client.  I tried both the Universal PCL6 and the PCL6 version 5.6 unsuccessfully.  I had to put the old HP LJ 4050 PCL6 driver back in place.
