Need to download Mac driver (OSX Mavericks) for LaserJet P1005

I am visiting a home that has a HP LaserJet P1005.   I need to install the driver on my MacBook Pro Retina using OSX (the latest version: Mavericks).  The owner of the printer has an install disk for the driver but these new MacBook Pros no longer have an internal optical drive.  So I need to download the driver from the internet.  The printer is now out of warranty, not that it should matter.  The HP site says to get the driver from Apple using Software Update but Apple does not have it.  The HP site says if Apple does not have the driver that the older driver on your computer will work - but I don't have that.   So I have not been able to find any support post that helps me.  I tried calling the 800 number and was on hold waiting for half an hour before I gave up.  Please help!  I need to print some documents in the next few days before year end.  Thanks.

Hi,
Restart your Mac, then plug the USB and try running Software Update again.
if the same persists install the dollowing package prior adding the printer under Pritners & Scanners:
