New Printers with Windows filePro 5.7

We gave up on the Inkjet printer, and now trying to print to a wi-fil HP 
laserjet.

I am using the basic HPLASER print codes that worked on the Dell 
printer.  When I try to print to the new HP209dwe printer, it behaves 
the same as the other wi-fi printers.  The printer wakes up and sounds 
like it will begin, the nothing happens.  No paper movement at all.

I wonder if this is because it is wi-fi or just not liking the escape 
codes in the filePro printer table for HPLASER.  I tried many of the 
other printer types and they all behave the same way.   I am trying this 
without the MKPCL overlay, but will need to use that with the invoice 
printout once I get the printer to behave.

The barely capable support at HP says this printer is PCL6 and they no 
longer publish escape code data for printers.

Has anyone else had these issues?

Are their other USB printers that would work better than all the new 
wi-fi winderz based printers?

What newer laser printers (B&W) are you using with windows filePro on 
windows 10?   Which fP printer driver?

Thanks
