Driver for HP LaserJet 3050 with Windows XP Professional 64-bit

Does anyone know what driver I can use to install the HP Laserjet 3050 which is located on a network? I have Windows 64 HP.

It is a known and very easy problem for you to solve.  On the computer to which the printer is connected, go to the properties of the computer and note the name of the computer.  Now, go to the printer properties and note the name of the shared printer sharing.  Now on the xp machine go to printers and faxes and click on add printer, then local printer, next and click on create a new port and in the dropdown choose the port and in the box that appears, type the name of the local computer and share the name of the computer to which the printer is connected using the following syntax : \\computername\sharename where you replace your real names.  Click ok and then next and when you get to the page of decision-makers choose hp on the left, then choose any listed laserjet pcl5 driver (Laserjet 2200 works fine) and then following and you can rename it to LJ3050 and end up and you should be able to print now from the xp computer.  To get the computer name of the machine windows 7, right click on computer and scroll down to properties and left-click.  As for the share name go to devices and printers and right click on the icon of 3050 and scroll the properties first and left click and then click on share and the share name will be there.
