LaserJet M608 driver for Windows server 2003 not available

[MIS_SEI]

I am trying to download the printer driver for our new printer lasterjet M608 from support.hp.com.  The driver needs to be installed on our Windows 2003 server.  After changing the OS to Windows server 2003 on the page, there is only 1 firmware file to download, but none of the printer driver shows up. 

So I changed the OS selection to server 2008, and downloaded the PCL6 32 bit server.  I am getting an error when I installed it on the 2003 server server and not letting me to add the printer.  I also tried the postscript driver and still the same problem.

I also downloaded the HPEasyStart_9_0_3.exe from 123.hp.com to run on the 2003 server, but I got an error saying the OS is not supported.

Can you please advise where to find the correct/compatible driver to download and install?

Thanks,

Vinson

Hi Vinson,

First, I would like to verify you use Server 2003 SP2, which is the minimum requirement for the printer:

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-laserjet-enterprise-m608-series/9364923/model/9364924/docume...

Please try installing below version of HP UPD PCL 6 and let me know if you may able to install this on the server:

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/UPD/hp-upd-6.4.1.22169/upd-pcl6-x32-6.4.1.22169.exe

If the installation above fails with incompatibility error, try installing below version and let me know if it may allow using the printer:

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/UPD/hp-upd-5.9.0.18326/upd-pcl6-x32-5.9.0.18326.exe

Hope that may help,

Shlomi
