Thanks BobI followed the instructions to the T on my Vista machineWhen I got to step 7 and clicked "Okay", the following message appearedThe folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your deviceIf the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems.

 

The only thing I can think of is the driver is not made for an x-64 based system


Oops - it was a critical piece of information missing there, that you are using an x64 systemYou will need the x64 version of the driver, which I have never found.

 

Edit - I do not know how I missed this one, it shoud install on your x64 system.  Download the driver here. The drivers installed fine on my Windows 7 x64 system.

Hello Bob and all others,

 

I have been also looking for driver to my designjet 450c . I use win7  x64 .

It looks that driver (  hpdj430x64glen )  prints only grayscale pictures.

How could I change it to support all colors. It doesnt give option at anywhere on settings.

 

Many thanks,

I had a big problem with Win7 64 bit and finding a driver for my HP-450C - looked and looked finally stumbled on winline.com and ordered the driver package - expensive, but it works.  Check it out.

Hi,

Thank you very very much. That seems to work fine.

Sorry this took so long to try. After a long hospital period I was not able to test it earlier.

 

anyway Thanks a lot. This really helps me out a lot.

Best regards

I installed that driver and found that I can't print in color, only greyscale.

There is 2 drivers possible to load from this pages links. They are using same name so it is easy to mix them. Use the second driver , loaded from mediafire page. It should work fine.

HP Recommended

I only see 1 link on the mediafire site.  If there's another one, can someone please provide the direct link?

 

Thanks.

 

P.S.  The Winline driver seems to work, but they want $200 for it.  If there's a no-cost solution to getting my colors back, I'd like to find it.  It doesn't seem reasonable that switching from one Microsoft OS to another should break my printer.

Gracias, hasta ahora esta funcionando bien, observaré como se comporta y luego les dejo saber.

 

Tengo la impresora HP Designjet 450C E/A0 conectada en Red a través de un Print Server DLink DP-301P+ y el sistema operativo que estoy usando es Windows 7 32bit para las sobremesa y 64 bit para la Notebook; para la Notebook utilicé los controladores de 64bits para wins 7; y para la sobremesa en la cual tengo Wins 7 32bit; utilicé   los controladores para windows XP, me pregiuntaran como hicé esto y a la verdad no lo sé, lo que sé es que la impresora me está funcionando perfectamente. Les digo, estaré en observación del funiconamiento y luego les dejo saber.

 

Gracias de nuevo  por los controladores,

 If no drivers available hook the printer up to your network. You can purchas a network server pretty cheap..

HP Recommended

I use a network server plugs in the back of your printer,, use your printer full functions..
