HP LaserJet 5L Printer

[Guest]

What drivers are people utilizing with the HP LaserJet 5L on XP and what port
settings are they using? I am trying to print with no luck utilizing my HP
LaserJet 5L from a new Dell Dimension 9100 with Windows XP. Thanks

I don't have this printer, but your most likely chance of success is to
download and install the most recent driver for XP from HP. See this link:

You don't say what your problem is exactly, but you might find that you have
a problem where only 'Administrators' are allowed to use the HP.

It took us ages to find out that our HP3330 came with the 'security' options
set for Power Users and Administrators only. As there was no Power Users
group on our system 'Users' were stuck.

The problem remained undetectable because our XP came with 'use simple file
sharing' checked. This rather innocent looking setting hides all the
'security' tabs from the properties sheets of devices such as the printer,
so you never get the chance to see that it is not set for all users. I have
asked HP to be aware of this in future drivers...

'Use simple file sharing' is also found in a very odd place: the very bottom
of the 'Tools/FolderOptions/View' menu! Not somewhere one would tend to
look for something that has such a profound affect on your ability to set
security options and get control of your devices!
