0 Guest Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 It doesn't appear that HP has a driver for the Design Jet 500 series with Vista 64 at this point. If they don't provide the driver, it's next to impossible to print to it. Quote Link to comment

0 Ray Libby Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Try the XP 64 bit edition. I'm running the XP drivers in Vista for the DesignJet 430 and it works fine. Quote Link to comment
0 Guest Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) Ray - Tx I read a bit about Vista Ultimate and it strike me that it was based to a certain extent on the Server 2003 X64 Bit OS which originated from the old workhorse Windows NT so there is a golden thread in the 64 bit editions then. Downloaded it and it currently printing - I guess the Windows XP one will work too then. But tx for the input. Will put it on the HP 500 site as a lot of people groan. 3 GHZ - X6850 Extreme 4 GB 1333 MHZ Corsair Ram DDR 3 Nividia 8800 GTX Video Card ( No black borders ) VW 12.5.2 - VW 2008 Edited October 30, 2007 by clb Quote Link to comment
0 JGraber Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I can confirm I am running the HP DesignJet 500 with the Windows XP 64-bit driver. It seems to be working fine at this point. Quote Link to comment
