I'd try looking up the drivers for the laserjet 5MP on the HP website. 
Then, once you have reached the site listing that printer's drivers, look to
the menu on the left.  You should find several items relating to that
printer including specifications and troubleshooting.  You might find a
manual there.

Hmm.  HP is pretty awful about posting user documentation for any of
its products.  Now IBM is another story.  Full maintenance
documentation for its products going pretty far back, maybe not as far
back as PS/2's, but who cares about PS/2's any more... Ben Myers

They have decent info, they only make it impossible to find.  For instance,
they hide the specifications link in an FAQ with other questions regarding
paper loading, etc.  The site organization just doesn't make any sense.

Now IBM is just a better company.  Every IBM product I have owned has
pleased me.  My current favorite is the IBM DeskStar 75GXP... best IDE hard
drive out there.  Their laptops are fabulous as well.

Want to know?
Yes - go here: 	<http://webpages.charter.net/ohlandl/index.html>
Will also tell you a god deal on IBM's documentation policy.
This was written on a PS/2 born in 1992 and still running 24/7.

Michael,

Agreed, the HP web site navigation is abysmal.  But basic stuff like
manuals for many hardware products just ain't there.  Or maybe it is,
but the web site organization really hides it?  Compaq's web site is
equally grotesque... Ben
