I have the same question regarding HP Laser Jet 4000 PCL 5.  It seems some kind of poll was taken to determine what users are using, but if our printers are working, and many of us are just now upgrading our laptops, this needs to be revisited.  I have talked to friends across the country and there are more of us out there than apparently HP is aware.  Where can we start a campaign to get the drivers updated?

Never, PCL5 is considered obsolete and it has been at least 2 years since any updates were made to the PCL5 UPD driver. Manually install the printer and use the existing 5.9 version drivers.
