I just installed a Laserjet 5si this week.. it really is not clear as to
how you do some of the things that we have been used to on the 3si and 4si..
However after installing my Jet Direct network card and the HP Jetadmin
utility I was eventually able to find where to set up and change printer
defaults - click on the 'CONFIGURATION' box and then select 'ADVANCED'
from the action bar.  This will bring up a list of various settings that
can be changed.
 
My laser arrived with an offer for a free cd-rom on Laserjet 5si Personal
Training.  Call 1-800-992-8555 or go to http://www.hp.com/go/lj5si-training.
Ask for part number 5964-2348E.  I know I am going to need it!
 
Good Luck!
