HP Laserjet 5N drivers
Howdy,
I have a Laserjet 5N (I know, pretty old) connected via parallel (LPT1) port to my computer. It worked just fine on my old machine with Windows XP on it, however, I just bought a new computer with Windows 7 on it and I've been having problems making it work ever since.
I went to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Add printer, did the "Windows Update" which updated the list of drivers and the HP LaserJet 5N was listed there. However, after adding the driver, printing still doesn't work - the "see what's printing dialog" just shows "error - printing" the moment I click "print test page" (or when I try to print anything else).
I've also tried searching the windows update catalog (downloaded, did "have disk", still no luck), as well as selecting some of the other printers on the "add printer" list - nothing helped.
I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!
