HP manages to install about (checks) half a gigabyte of apps and drivers as a *minimum* and it still can't keep track of the printer that's installed. I'd say this printer has been installed for a year, maybe used once every 2 to 3 weeks, and it's never straightforward. I had a fun time this week when trying to scan a document. LJ5's don't have that ability, thus the borkage by driver. They appear to be moving to 'Printing as a Service', meaning you have to subscribe to ink deliveries, lest your cartridge 'expire'. I am no longer a fan of HP, and will buy nothing from them. When the older driver is installed, the LJ5 works just fine off Win10. Luckily, they are available on the Web, thanks to a kind soul who had the foresight to grab them. My work PC runs (corporately managed) Win10 and worked fine until a recent update replaced HP's PCL5 drivers with a newer version which, for some reason unknown to me, borks all printing to the LJ5.Īnd HP has scrubbed the previous version of the drivers from their website. Also for my wife, who's using AirPrint through my Linux system, acting as a print server for her Apple gear. I'm running a salvaged and repaired HP LJ5, here in the Fortress of Solitude (my basement WFH room) and it's just doing a tremendous job.
