5100CN Windows 8 64bit

I know there is already a thread that covers a work around, but I'm wondering of there is any progress on this.  I've been using one of these printers for years (actually we had several) and recently just had mine serviced (as I think we hit the 50k mark on pages -- was my office printer now it's the home printer for the family).  It's still working on top condition so replacing it just doesn't economical make sense.

I find it hard to believe that there are drivers for 20 year old HP printers and nothing for support for older Dell printers.

I did manage to get the workaround install to print to the 5130CDN (I think) drivers which does text just fine but printing graphics doesn't work.

If there isn't going to be a driver, can Dell at least put that in plain words on their drivers page...  If it's in development, can we at least know the state of the development.  It can't be that hard to port over the printer driver itself (I used to do hardware development, so I know that it shouldn't take that much).
