The manual indicates two things on this particular topic: 1. It needs bidirectional communication. 2. The printer requires an IEEE-1284 compliant cable.
Well, it needs bidirectional communication in order for the HP printer configuration app for Windows to be able to communicate with the printer. And for bidir communication to work, it needs a printer cable with all necessary pins connected. As for the printing, I'll ask a collegue of mine who is our printer specialist. Meanwhile, here's the relevant info from one of the best websites for printer info, http://www.picante.com : Modell : HP LaserJet 5L Type : BW Laser 600x600 Support : Perfectly PCL 5e ljet4 Comment : Remember that the 5L is more like the Ljet4 family than the Ljet5 family (as with most ?L printers from HP). Getting more RAM is highly recommended; with only the standard 1Meg you may be unable to print some jobs. From command line the 1st line of the first page is only half visible; also col 77 is the last column to be fully printed. Sophisticated apps that use wide margins all-around print fine.
