There is an in-box driver for the HP LaserJet 5/5M as there is for a lot of
printers. Although printer manufacturers may not have Vista specific
drivers on their web site, there may well be an in-box driver.
Also, the printer drivers for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 will, in
the majority of cases, work just fine with Vista.
