jmartinarch Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Anyone use the HP T120 printer/plotter with osx 10.10 Yosemite? HP says no driver available. I'd like to upgrade osx from Lion someday. Quote Link to comment
0 CipesDesign Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I do have a T120, but I am running OSX 10.9.x. It is an amazing printer for the price. I have no idea about drivers for OSX 10.10.x, but I'm sure gonna find out now that you brought it to my attention. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted July 22, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 22, 2015 I was able to find a driver for that printer for 10.10, unless I am mistaken about the model: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5263075&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4182 Quote Link to comment
0 jmartinarch Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 I think that's the driver. Thanks Jim. And yes Peter I agree it is a nice little printer for the price. I'm not sure who to ask about my next maneuver: I have VW installed on a MacBook Pro and am thinking of purchasing an iMac Can I have VW on both machines? I do travel and work away from office. Not sure what the license agreement is. Quote Link to comment

With one running at a time it should be no issue and its permitted by the EULA. Quote Link to comment

0 mac@stairworks Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I just bought a T120 printer and I'm trying to plot a full scale template at 23-1/2"x102". I'm getting a message telling me "paper size mismatch". I can't figure out how to set up the page settings so I can print more than a 36" D size sheet. I used the custom sizes setup but I can't seem to get it to print. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you I'd send a screen shot but I don't know how to attach a file to my post.

0 mac@stairworks Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hi Jim, I got it sorted out. I generally use the plotter only for VW. Since I bought it, this is the first time I've tried to plot anything larger than a D size sheet. It was an issue with the width and height inputs, but what confuses me is I put in 102" in the width box and 23.5" in the height box and the page set to portrait and it worked so I tried my second plot with the same settings and nothing... After spending 3 hours with HP tech support, having me delete system files and downloading updated drivers that wouldn't install, I decided to try reversing the width, height and page orientation and it worked. You would think that would be the first thing he would have had me do. It was a matter of getting the settings to what HP defines as the width of the paper and the height. The "width" setting is the width of the roll you are using. The other thing I noticed is that if you have an incorrect width and height (ie:102" w and 23.5 H) the dropdown for "page size" grays out dimensions that aren't accepted by HP. That was a clue to me that something wasn't right. The other thing I noticed is that on my Snow Leopard machine I have a print preview button, but on my Mavericks machine, there is none. Am I missing something? Thanks Jim Quote Link to comment
