Product: Designjet z2100
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, 

I recently got a used Designjet Z2100 44" and would like to run it via USB. The USB driver could not be installed via the current HP software. First I had to install the driver "to file" and later assign the USB port: 001 manually. OK, that still worked.
But how do I get the printer to profile the paper to get ICC profiles? (not calibrate).
The software "HP Color Center" does not seem to exist anymore, or does not run under Windows 10.
If possible, I do not want to run the printer over a network.
Thanks for helpful hints.

Hello @Prucker 

 

Using the printer with usb has limitations so my suggestion is to plug the printer to a network so you can profile the paper from the embedded web server, I understand you don't want to plug it in that way however usb won't provide you any options to profile the paper.

The HP Color Center was discontinued some years ago.
