PCL 6 will NOT work for one of our applications, it has to PCL5 or 5e. HP only offers PCL6. I’m about to try a Win 7 64-bit PCL5 Universal Driver, but would prefer a Windows 10 driver.
Thanks,
Marc

I think he does not want a print driver for HP printers…he wants a printer driver for Windows 10 ???
…
This is like I had a “super user” who wanted to edit a file.txt. But she does not want to use notepad as this is a text file not a note, then also does not want to use M$ Word as the text file contain many words.
HP still offers the UPD driver in PCL5 but has not updated it for quite a while. Still works if you really have applications that need it and I know they are around. Version 5.9 is the last and best. If you have trouble getting it let me know and I can upload to a dropbox for you.

Marc,
Not sure if this will help you as I don’t know what model you are trying to get working, but check out this link…
It basically says to go to the “Print Server” in "Devices and Printers"and add a new driver. Then select “Windows Update” to refresh the built-in list. There should be plenty of PCL5 drivers that are made available for you…
Good Luck!
Brian
P.S. - conversely, you could use the following link which is actually a Windows 8.1 UPD PCL5. I have downloaded, extracted, and successfully installed on my 10 pro system…

wheelsfl76,
That win 8.1 UPD driver is the same as the one I downloaded for Win 7. So I will go ahead and use that one.
Thanks,

@ KrasimirPetrov,
Been there, done that - that link only offers a PCL6 driver for Win10-64.
@ adrian_ych,
Sorry I wasn’t clear - I want an HP Universal PCL5 Driver. The Universal part means it will work with a variety of HP and non-HP printers that support PCL5. The exact model is immaterial, but to be totally clear: HP Laserjet M402n, HP Laserjet M604, HP Laserjet P4014 and Ricoh Aficio MP 4002. I know that the universal driver does not support any special features of each printer BUT it does select paper source properly for all. I have been using a HP Universal PCL5 for Windows 7-32 bit successfully for years with all these, and other, printers.
