Hello ITMan10000, Thank you for your feedback. Our system shows the following product cycle for the HP DesignJet 1055cm plotter: Introduction Date: 1 August 2001 WW Obsolescence Date: 30 November 2009 End Of Support Date: 30 April 2015 Some HP computer products are supported for 5 years. However, you will notice that the HP DesignJet 1055cm plotter was supported for 14 years, which clearly shows HP commitment to this plotter.

Our consultant shared that the HP DesignJet 1055cm plotter works under Windows 7 and 8 using the, which you can easily download from HP support web page. Also Microsoft Windows Server 2008 drivers are available. The plotter will not work on Windows 10 using Vista driver because it is an entirely different operating system. The consultant also emphasizes that it is very important to check thoroughly compatibility of all applications and hardware and the availability of drivers ahead of the operating system upgrade. Shows other challenges that are or maybe encountered.

See this excerpt: ' Usability Concerns. Since the HP 1050c is almost 15 years old, the technology is nowhere cutting edge.

Users can expect to have certain issues when printing from newer applications. The onboard processor is not capable of handling the complexities of some larger, more modern files produced some applications such as Revit, ESRI GIS, etc. Large files can crash the 1050 plotter and force the user to reboot. The HP 1050c plotter is extremely slow by today’s standards.'

Note also that HP DesignJet 1055cm resolution is low compared to current plotters. If a product is working very well, I am reluctant to recommend a replacement. However, in this case we will be happy to provide recommendations. I've always used thirdy party driver tools for this kinda thing, we've got a few old unsupported CAD/CAMM machines that require very (very!) old drivers. Take a look at and download the lite version. You just then need to download the indexes and it'll search for drivers for connected devices and download. It's also a good idea to download everything and keep it in a central store and make a Server Share - so you can access it easily across the network. Format new mybook harddrive for mac.

Hope this helps you out - let me know i'd be intrigued. Ayden.Leitch wrote: I've always used thirdy party driver tools for this kinda thing, we've got a few old unsupported CAD/CAMM machines that require very (very!) old drivers.
