I can't be positive because I haven't used a LserJet5, but you should be
able to set the name of the printer to something more unique.  We used
the HP LaserJet Utility that came with all our LaserJet 4's to change the
ethertalk name of the printers to completely unique names.  This way you
can name them something that has to do with their department, or physical
location, etc.  And since they will be completely different, your startup
order problem will be gone.
