The HP LaserJet 5 series represents a line of monochrome laser printers introduced by Hewlett-Packard (HP) during the mid-1990s, forming part of the broader LaserJet collection. This series followed the HP LaserJet 4 models. Following the LaserJet 5, HP altered its naming convention: the 5L and 5P variants were succeeded by the 6L and 6P, although no official LaserJet 6 model was released. Instead, the successors to the 5/5M/5N/5se range were found in the LaserJet 4000 series, while the 5si/5siMX/5siNX models were replaced by the LaserJet 8000 series. The LaserJet 4V/4MV models were succeeded by the LaserJet 5000 series rather than a LaserJet 5 model.
