Universal PCL5, PCL6, and Postscript drivers

For Win 8, it probably works best to use the universal USB driver with a USB conversion cable.

For Win 7,  you get three choices:
HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5 (64-bit)

HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL6 (64-bit)

HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PostScript (64-bit)

A bit of research shows that for a printer which supports Postscript, the Postscript choice is probably the best.  However, an LJ5 does not support Postscript.  The correct choice is PCL5.

Installing the PCL5 driver does not "fix" the printer which was discovered when Win 7 finds a printer on the parallel port.

Rather, it creates a generic PCL5 printer which is hard wired to a parallel port, normally LPT0:.

The printer seems to work ok, although I have not tested extensively as yet.

So far, this is the only solution I find for Win 7.
