HP Color LaserJet 5 - Win2k Driver?

[sbalun]

Good Day All,

I've gone to the HP site but can't seem to locate a driver for my HP Color LaserJet 5. Does anyone know why HP doesn't have a Win2k driver? Can I use the XP driver with Win2k? If not, is anyone aware of someplace where I can find a compatible driver for this printer and Windows 2000.

Thanks.

one way to find out install it, the xp driver if it works great if not just uninstall it..... in the mean time i will check it out and see if i can help you.

Thanks genrlj1596. I'll give it a try.

I realize this is a rather old printer but the powers that be don't want to invest in a new one if the old is still working. The problem we seem to be experiencing relates to color reproduction. For some reason when we're printing something with a lot of color on the page the colors don't come out very well from any machine running Win2k. The same page printed out from a Win98se box comes out just fine??

I wasn't even aware of the issue until an email went out from one of the project managers about the problem printing with Win2k. That's when I set out to find a proper driver and what led me to this forum. I'll report back.
