Photosmart 8450

I have an old Photosmart 8450 that serves my needs.  It's been attached to an old MacBook Pro.  I just connected it to an M1 Mac Mini via Ethernet cable and was able to successfully print using the "Generic PLC Laser Printer" driver.  I went to the HP WWW looking for a driver and found one for Mac OS X 10.5 but I am running Big Sur 11.2.  Will the 10.5 driver work?  Will an 11.2 driver be produced?  

Here's what I found:

I received emails that two people replied to this thread, but not seeing the replies here in the forum.

What's up with that?

Thanks RichardWilliam3 and Rebecca_atkins for your replies - I hope I eventually get to see them.
