Hi hi,

I am trying to get my pc communicating with my companies HP LaserJet 5200 Series PCL5 printer.  I believe it is a driver issue, so I went looking for the software, but I was unsure what to download as the printer appears to be an older model.  So I decided to search for the driver files on the neighboring pc...literally the next desk over is using the same printer I need to use.  

 

I found the driver files in a system folder on that pc and copied them to our cloud.  Can I then just cut and paste them into the corresponding folder on my pc?  Will that work?  This might be a pretty novice question...but, there you have it, I'm not so savvy with any layer just beneath your typical interface with a computer.

 

Thanks!
