HP Designjet 430

I have a HP Designjet 430 series which I am trying to get to plot A1 size drawings from autocad for mac 2011. The plotter has had upgraded software to the 450 series put on it so it shows up as 450c C4715A. I can get it to plot in mono with the designjet430 gutenprint v5.2.3 driver from snow leopard but can't find a driver to get it to print in colour.

Anyone got any ideas?

Gutenprint should work in color - have you looked through the print dialog settings? Or Print & Fax Options & Supplies dialog?

Not sure what I would be looking for? I used to use VMWare Fusion and Autocad on the virtual PC and could get it to print from that in colour.

Hmm.
Looks like the Gutenprint PPD defaults to grayscale. Hope Matt Broughton will come by and help you fix that.
