How do I install the Windows Adobe PostScript driver? (HP Designjet 10ps or 20ps)

Before installing the software, please make sure your computer is properly configured with appropriate adapters and network protocols.

Tell me about connections between my printer and a computer.

 

To install the Adobe PostScript driver on a client computer running Windows...

The procedure below is for the HP Designjet 20ps; for the 10ps, replace '20ps' by '10ps' throughout.

  1. Insert the HP Designjet 20ps software for Windows CD into your CD-ROM drive.
  2. For Windows NT, Windows 98 and Windows ME, find the Adobe PS driver depending on the operating system. For Windows 2000, launch the Add Printers wizard and locate the .inf file on the CD.

Important:

  • When the Select Printer Model dialog appears, only a Generic option is shown. You must now select Browse... and locate the appropriate PPD (PostScript Printer Description) in Program Files\HP Designjet 20ps\PPD. The name of the PPD is HPDJ20PS.PPD. Then select HP Designjet 20ps and click on Next.

  • Windows NT Users:

    • In some environments, although you cannot see the PPD, it is there. Just go to the right folder, and select the first line--although you cannot see anything, you will see that something has been selected. Then press Continue and carry on with the process.

Notes:

  • This procedure is needed only for client computers, not a server.
  • The printer must be shared by the server; during installation on the client, you must select the printer on the network.
  • For Windows NT, Windows 98 and Windows ME, if you selected Typical installation of the HP Designjet 20ps software, this PostScript driver installation happens automatically; if you selected Custom, this driver can be installed at any time by clicking on the Installer icon.
