Shortly after posting the above, I did a search of the HP Web site for
"crash Windows LaserJet". From that, I found

which suggested that the problem is that the printer is plugged into a
USB 3 port and might do better with a USB 2 port.

My USB ports are not labeled. I moved the printer's USB plug from the
second row to the first, I have now printed three times without a crash.
I then looked up "universal serial buss" on Wikipedia. It said that
USB 3 ports are blue. Yes, the port I had been using was blue; the one
I am now using is black.

They *are* labeled, but in a hieroglyphic that you hadn't been
previously informed of: blue port.

Now you know :-)

By the way, this indicates that backwards compatibility of USB 3 is not
always true. If USB 2 ports are not available in future systems, there
will be some serious problems.

IMO, backwards compatibility is not always true *only if* there are bugs
in the drivers...
