Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

HP Laserjet 5N driver for Windows 10 (64 bit) needed.

My Laserjet 5N with JetDirect - J2552 ETHERNET  adapter , worked well with earlier Windows 8 off my HP laptop until I upgraded to Windows 10 (64Bit).

 

Now, it just doesn't print off my LAN.

Does anyone know of the correct printer driver for this please?

(The same networked printer still works well off my Dell PC on Windows XP, via same Ethernet LAN).

 

Appreciate your advice.

You could be dealing with a couple of issue here:

 

1. That network adapter is ancient and it is possible that current security requirements for Windows 10 are not being met. I will be that if you try to access the embedded web server from the Windows 10 browser you will get an error. Normally this does not block printing but I leave it as one possibility.

 

2. If you are able to ping the printer from the laptop, I would suggest you try one of the native Windows 10 drivers for a model like the HP 4000. You will likely need to perform a manual printer installation to do this. You can refer to this KB article for reference but will likely need to chose a native driver instead of the UPD driver referred to. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Knowledge-Base/How-to-manually-install-a-network-printer-in-W...
