Hi,

Only PCL 6 is available:

Whilst HP now only appears to provide PCL6 (PCL XL) drivers for this printer, the device itself still supports PCL5, amongst other Page Description Languages:

So if you have a 'bespoke' application which generates a PCL5 print stream, it should still work OK with this printer model.

Although the website says the M402 hp printer does not support the Universal PCL5 Driver, I tried to change the Driver and that was the solution.

Install a Universal PCL5 Driver provided in Windows 7 and that was the solution. Thanks for your answers.

Bear in mind that if you upgrade to Windows10, you will find that there is no PCL5 Universal Printer Driver available; after version 6.1.0, only PCL6 (PCL XL) and PostScript variants of the UPD are produced.
