DesignJet 500 24 Won't Test Print Windows 10

[JJlahr]

Hello All,

I have an issue with my plotter printer that is unable to print on my new Windows 10-64bit PC. It has the correct drivers loaded (via Windows Update), but will not print regardless of program I use. When I try a test print, it brings up an error: "Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000007f). The specified procedure could not be found." When I try doing a test print within the HP Print and Scan Doctor application, it prints a test print fine and says everything is working properly.

I restarted my computer and turned off my firewall with no change as well. It is connect via USB cable and I tried both 2.0 and 3.0 usb ports with no change.  I have tried searching this error, but haven't found anything that works. If anyone has any suggestions to fix this I would be very grateful.

Thanks!

Hello JJlahr,

I would like to suggest that you download and try the official DesignJet 500 24 driver from HP

I have tried both suggestions with no success. One new thing I noticed is I can print Word documents, but other programs I get the same or similar errors. Still unable to do a test print.

How about this Designjet Universal print driver?
