Oh, one more important thing.  You'll probably have to do this in one
shot.  After you do the "Windows Update", it doesn't permanently add the
drivers to your list of available drivers -- it's only for the "Add a New
Printer" session.

So, you'll have to first add the HP LaserJet 5L printer via the URL; then,
when it gets to the driver part, you'll need to do "Windows Update", find
the printer under "HP", and select it and click OK to continue on.

Things are never easy in the Macrosoft world.
