and the generic Windows driver. According to what I have read there will be
no new driver forthcoming for this printer. It prints large documents at
two pages at a time with a memory overflow message and a pause. Takes
forever. Any suggestions?

The creation and updating of the driver is up to HP and they would be the
ones to update the existing one if it is not up to snuff with Win2000.

I'm talking about the documentation from HP. I quote directly from their
website:
"Printers not listed in the table above (mine is not listed) are supported
in Windows 2000 only with the MS Unidrivers available on the Windows 2000 OS
CD-ROM. These printer models are:"
* HP Color Laserjet 5 Series
Okay, so I understand they are not going to support my printer. I'm looking
for a workaround. I deal with large documents and make many copies. It is
taking me forever to print them.
Curiously, I have no problem when using Word 2000. I just happen to like
the macros better in WordPerfect. Can you help me?

One other thing I can think of is that WP may be using "Print text as
graphics" and Word not doing so; this is on the Details tab in the WP9
print dialog, over-riding the printer's default properties settings.

and uses Win 2000 metafile spooler. I cannot find a place in Win 2000 to
tell it the printer memory size, not with this driver. Obviously
WordPerfect thinks the printer doesn't have enough memory. Can I change
that?

text. I have tried using the spooler, not using the spooler and printing
direct to printer. I am using WP8. I own WP9 but am petrified to install
it when even 8 doesn't work correctly. My LaserJet 4 works fine.

previously, HP is NOT going to upgrade the LJ5 colorlaser driver to Win2000.
They suggest using the Windows 2000 driver.....which is the problem driver.
Another suggestion I received is to try the PostScript driver. I'll try
that too. I do appreciate your time and your suggestions.
