Hello everybody. I came to write here on the forum after struggling hard to solve a problem I have in the office concerning my HP Designjet Z5200 plotter purchased in 2016.
The thing is, HP has completely abandoned us in releasing the drivers for this plotter which is not old at all!
Do you think that the latest driver version published by HP dates back to August 27, 2012!!!
That was a driver that was fine for Mac OS 10.8. Now we're at Mac OS 10.13 (Ventura), so it's been 5 Mac OS versions and HP hasn't released anything anymore. Now I'm working with a Mac where Mac OS version 10.13 (Ventura) is installed and to print again on my HP Z5200 plotter I have to switch to another old mac where an old Mac OS is installed and where the drivers for HP Z5200 plotter they work. In that mac I shared the plotter on the network and so I can also print from my new mac.
Now I ask the community if you can tell me where to find drivers for HP Z5200 that work with recent Apple operating systems. Thanks to whoever will answer me.

Hi, I don't know if you have solved this but I also have a designjet Z5200 plotter and had the same problem after upgrading to Mac OS 12.6. I spoke with HP support staff this afternoon and was told to download the driver for the Designjet Z-9 printer as the drivers for the Z series are the same and this will work with Mac OS 12.6. I did and after installing and restarting my Mac, the printer is working and printing just fine.
