Hlep, I need a HP LaserJet PCL5 Class Driver. My HP LaserJet won't print with the PCL6.

Or a way to get the HP LaserJet to use the PCL6 class driver. This printer still uses a LPT1 Port.

Thanks,

Paul

I should have a link for the HP UPD 5 driver, but do not have access to the link at the moment. Will post back later.

Note that a class driver is a Microsoft supplied driver not an HP driver and you would get that manually installing the printer and telling the install to check for updates. The actual HP driver is a much better choice in my opinion.

Much appreciated. You're a life saver. I have the old printer, even uses a LPT1 port and prints 9 by 12 sheet of much which look like they came from the publisher itself. Evertime Windows upgrades Windows changes the driver. Now that I have a copy of PLC5 I can continue to print the music. thanks again!!!!!
