I posted similar frustrations I have been having with the 5L.  I received
an e-mail from someone who helped me out.  In the WIN-OS/2 settings, under
DOS_DEVICE, add C:\OS2\MDOS\LPTDD.SYS.  That was all it took for me to be
able to print under both WIN-OS/2 and OS/2 Warp.

Also, I found the new set of HP5L drivers from an HP site (mp240en.exe)
that work for OS/2 Warp and I also found the HP5L drivers for Windows
(besides that 3-disk set that comes with the printer).  Those two sets
of drivers along with the addition in the DOS_DEVICE area worked for me.
