Windows 10: Update KB4560960 destroys HP DesignJet 130nr print server

Hi,

Not so much a question, more a report.

Each time I tried sending a file to my network connected HP DesignJet 130nr wide format printer the file would appear briefly in the queue and then disappear. No such problems with network connected FujiXerox C2255.

I have spent about 10 hours trying all the usual stuff: load, unload; connect disconnect etc.

The solution is to uninstall update KB4560960.

I have tried to contact MS to report this but the wall is so opaque I have been unable to do so. So I am reporting it here.


Needless to say I am not happy customer.

:)

 

How to print faster on HP DesignJet 1050C?

In my office we have a color wide format printer, the HP DesignJet 1050C. The printing itself doesn't take long at all once it starts, but sending the file to the printer can take 5-10 minutes with something like 5-15MB PDF. The PDFs in question are just one page PDFs, they're 24x36" floor plans of a building.

Right now it's using a parallel port/PCI card, are there any faster options? I think it has a serial port but I'm not too familiar with printers in general so I'm not sure if that'd be any better. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

HP Designjet 500 not printing in Windows 10

I have an HP designjet 500 24 connected through a network and I can print without any problems.

I connected another one, same model, via USB and the installation did not present any problems. If I try to print, it just shows a message "attempting to cancel the print".

Print and scan doctor does not show any errors and allow for Test Print.

Print Test Page from Properties shows an unknown error.
