Comment on Windows 11 is finally killing off legacy printer drivers in 2026 — and it’s going to shake up a lot of older hardware

Are PCL6 drivers considered “legacy”?

I have a HP Laserjet 4N, a HP LaserJet 4050DTN, and a LaserJet 5000DTN, all of which work swimmingly on standard PCL6 drivers.

All of those work without drivers on linux. I picked up two HP LaserJets from a public auction along with replacement toners. I may have bought my last printer.

  Old enterprise is where it’s at. Toner lasts forever, parts are perpetually available.
