Haich Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Can someone point me to the HP Workaround Link mentioned in Katie's previous post? I was unable to locate it using the forum search. -Henry Quote Link to comment

CADD Nark Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 my .cents; the HP 500 is the worst choice for a plotter any one could make.... why?? because it dosen't understand universal plotter/printer laguages without a software RIP specificaly for this plotter.... it has no spolling ability.... memory is very limited.... we had to use one a while back using OS 9 w/ VW 9 and the HP driver sucked so bad, an independant machine had to be used as a print server because of the driver crippling the machines with it's processor demands and crashes. the company paid like $4k for this piece of junk!!!!! for $2k more, a new 1050 could be had and all plotter issues go away. the time i spent testing and troubleshooting easily surpassed $2k. ah, the nightmares of OS 9 and an HP 500. get yourself up to OS X.... download and install Gimpprint....ghostscript.... and kiss your HP 500 woes goodbye. better yet, just dump the HP 500.
