Connecting MacBook Pro with Lion 10.8.2 to HP Designjet 1055cm?
I have a MacBook Pro with Lion 10.8.2 and an old HP Designjet 1055cm. I cannot now connect to it since installing Lion. Any suggestions?

I don't see your printer listed at the Apple HP support site - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP.
You may want to get in touch with HP and see if they even offer an updated driver for your printer. If not, it may be time to go printer shopping.

Thanks. I am asking the HP community too. The Designjet printer is about 15 years old, but an amazing workhorse and there is nothing wrong with it! Would like to solve this one.
I don't think I've ever owned a printer for more than 3-4 years! I know that I kept my Apple LaserWriter NTX for about four years... but then I 'upgraded' it!
I think that it's really time to purchase a new printer!

I just set up my New 2013 iMac (10.8.3) with the HP Designjet 1055CM.
It was a little tricky but it works GREAT !!!
I think HP is not including the Drivers because there trying to force people to buy NEW Printer.
Don't fall into this almost Criminal CRAP !!!!
So this is what I did:
Connected to my older machine that had the older HP 1055cm drivers then manually installed the drivers onto my New iMac (through Printer setup in the System Preferences)
The HP 1055cm driver is found here:
HD/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/HP DesignJet 1055CM PS3.gz
If you need the driver just contact me and I will e-mail it to you.
Hi,
I have the same issue with the HP DesignJet 1055CM, but I do not have the driver in the Library that you mentioned above.
Could you please let me know where I can find it?
Thank you very much.
Cheers

I tried to send you the driver by replying to the e-mail but it got kicked Back to me.
Send me an email address I can send the driver and instructions too.
Thanks JIM
Any chance you could send me the HP driver. I have a MacBookPro with 10.8 and they won't talk to each other.
Thanks,
Can you give me an email address?
I can send you the file and the instructions that Jim sent me.
Thanks
Sure. Sorry!
Just got around to this at last.
Could you please send me the HP Designjet 1055 cm Printer Driver too?
Many thanks, much appreciated!

Just saw your thread from earlier this year!
I would love to get the HP DesignJet 1055CM driver from you if possible! 🙂 My generic post script writer is not allowing larger printing very well. Lots of formatting issues.
