Are you certain there were MacOS drivers? MacOS 9.2.2 was released in  
2001, and this LaserJet 5100 was released in June 2002 when OS X  
10.1.5 was the current release software for Macs.


The HP article titled "HP LaserJet 5100 Family Printers - Upgrading  
the Firmware" says there is a MacOS firmware update tool that only  
works in OS 9, which implies there were OS 9 drivers. You should check  
the firmware version of your LaserJet because this could be the  
problem why your printer isn't printing your files correctly in OS X  
or Classic:





It says the current firmware for LJ5100 is version MB8.23 :




The drivers here might work after making sure the firmware is latest:



You should be able to view all these drivers in OS X by  
Finder>Go>Connect to Server then add ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/.

HP 5100 Laserjet driver for G4 needed

[glen]

Looking for OS 9 drivers for Digital Audio G4. Apparently HP no longer has them 
on their support site.This is not a 5100 Deskjet or 5100 Officejet just a "new" 
refurbished black & white 1200 dpi 5100 Laserjet printer. Don't know why HP 
uses "5100" for so many different printers.


I have searched Google and no joy. I can print from 10.4.11 on another 
networked G4 but need to print from legacy OS9 files on the DA that do not play 
well with OS 10.4.11 or Classic. Perhaps someone has the driver stashed away 
and could sent it --  or has a download link. Any suggestions? Thanks ---glen
