    |
|
I'm still on PC7.0.6 on a PPC machine. I just moved to Leopard (10.5.3) and am having problems plotting on my old but still operating HP 755cm. The driver Leopard shows is a generic PS driver and I am not having success with it.
Does anyone else have a similar setup, and what are you using for a plotter driver? Was there a trick to installing it?

Jeff,
Open System Preferences, and then go to Print & Fax. Add a printer and try selecting the Gutenprint driver for the HP DesignJet 750C Plus built into Leopard. It will recognize the 755CM on the network. I have used this driver instead of the HP PostScript driver for some time, starting back with Tiger (10.4), with great success. I think it prints faster and the color saturation is even better than the old PostScript driver. I wasted many hours trying to keep the old PostScript driver going, but eventually found the Gutenprint driver to be every bit as good.
