Default HP Laserjet 5 won't print on XP Pro

Hi.

I have an old HP LaserJet 5 that has served me well for many years. I made
some changes to my computer and now I can't print.

I recently formatted my hard drive and installed a SATA Raid -0-
configuration on my Intel D945GNT Motherboard. I installed some other
printer drivers from OMNIRUSH Fax server and then I plugged in my HP
LaserJet 5 and it recognized the printer and it installed the drivers
automatically for me.

However now, when I print a test page, it tells me that it cannot print
because the wrong drivers are installed. It tells me this immediately after
I hit the OK button to print.

I went into the bios to check if it is set correctly and it is. I tried to
install LASER JET 4 drivers and I get the same error message. I tried to
install Epson laser drivers and I get the same error.

Of course I deleted the HP 5 driver and I tried to reinstall it and I
followed the troubleshooting tips in help, but I still can't get it to
print.

Any ideas on what to do now?
