From http://localhost:631/printers, once again, you can then click on "modify printer" and set up things like paper format and which tray to use per default, according to your preferences. . Afterwards, I would expect your printer to properly print a testpage. If this works, one could look into the nice things like multiple pages on one sheet of paper. For what it is worth, I do not remember about the 5L, but my ancient Laserjet 4 prints easyly up to 4 pages to one sheet of paper, just via cups and ghostscript, without using any hplip components.. If none of this works, you might provide more insight about what Linux you are using, what you tried to do and what the error messages were.
