I could not find HP Universal Print Driver for Windows - PCL 5, 64-bit
anymore. Some time ago the driver was available for Windows 7, no luck today.

Hi @Joe134
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you.
PCL5 variant of the Universal Printer Driver is no longer available on the HP Support site. Only PCL6 (PCL XL) and PostScript variants are available for download.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi Kumar0307,
your answer does not solve my problem. It's just a confirmation that I could not find the PCL5 driver for Windows because HP has removed it at purpose. I would suggest that HP corrects the misleading title of this link

I understand your concern and I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP.
They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact.
Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here:
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community.
