1 Software / Help: Need drivers for these printers...
March 06, 2015, 01:56
Hi everyone!

I am new here, but I am not planning on staying too long, unfortunately. I have decided to take a healthy break from my hobby; however, I just need some quick help with something. I know this might be going against what I just mentioned (about my hobby), but I just want to know if I can find System 7 drivers for my ol' HP Laserjet 5. I was able to find OS9 drivers some time ago, when I tried the printer out on my PowerMac G3 (Beige), but now I cannot even find THOSE drivers anywhere online.

I also have an Apple Laserwriter 4/600 PS, which I could also use, but the only driver I have found for it (on Macintosh Garden) is too large to fit on a floppy disk. (If I were to compress it on a modern Mac, would System 7 be able to unpack it?).

I prefer the Apple printer, since it matches and is much smaller, but I guess I'll use whichever one I can get drivers for.

Quick question: Does System 7 already come with HP drivers? Maybe these printers will work without a crude driver installation? I don't know...

I thought it would be cool to type some documents on an old Mac, so I thought I'd try this out. I am still going to be staying away from my hobby for some time, though. (By the way, I have been a Mac collector for some years now, so if I sound like a n00b, it's because I'm not keen on Apple printers/printers in System 7).
