Windows 10: HP LaserJet 5000n drivers

I recently upgrade 3 computers to Windows 10 (2 pro, 1 home). When I went to install the drivers to our LasetJet 5000, they were no longer in the Windows Update list. I'm not sure when this particular printer was dropped from the list, but the currently listed printers in that series start with 5100, which I tried, but does not work. I know the 5000 is an old printer, but it works fine with Windows 10. Does anyone have an .exe of the driver for this printer, or know of somewhere I can find one? There is no listing on the HP site; the only links there are to this forum and direct one to the Windows Update list. Thank you.

Windows 10 Driver for HP LaserJet 4


I tried this after doing a clean install of Windows 10. The list of printers that comes up does not include the Laserjet 4 plus which is the printer I am trying to connect via usb. How do I get that to come up?

 

Windows 10 Driver for HP LaserJet 4


for those who have a HP (Hewlett Packard) Laserjet 4 or Laserjet 5M I finally found how to connect up the computer to these great printers when OS is Windows 10. Follow step-by-step. This really works!! I love my old printer:

Win 7 with Win 10, and as others have reported the drivers for my older printer did not load.
Although it is a HP Laserjet 4 plus, that appars to be not so important, other than the fact that the original cable has been replaced with one with a USB connector for my more modern laptop.

After struggling and Googling for far too much time, here is what worked very well.

--press teh Windows icon in the lower left corner
--select "settings"
--select "devices"
--select "add printers & scanners"
--select "add a printer"
-- it probably will scan and deliver a message like "printer ----- isn't listed"
--click on that message
--scroll down to "add a local printer"
--accept "use existing port" then scroll down and select USB001(virtual port for USB)
--it is possible that if you are using the original cable that the default LPT1 is the correct choice.
--that will lead to the same list of printer drivers that you would have had with Win 7 (my understanding, or misunderstanding, is that when Win 10 loaded it retained the Win 7 printer drivers, but did not make them particularly accessible.
--select your printer
--print a test page
--all done
--you may need to make that your default printer
