ppd fies for HP Laserjet P2055d

[Manoj60]

My HP Laserjet P2055d printer is  not supporting any ppd file through HP Universal Postscript driver. My OS is Windows 7 64 bit. Is there any other driver which will support ppd file in Postscript printing? How to solve the problem?

Hi Manoj,

You try with old driver file "upd-ps-x64-6.0.0.18849" (can search on Google).

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your advice regarding ppd file of HP laserjet 2055d printer. But this support is not enough for getting different sizes of dots in halftone screens and images while printing in transparencies. Please advise.

Hi Pierino,

You can try reinstall with UPD (Universal Printer Driver) PCL5, PCL6 or PostScrip (option, example: upd-ps-x64-6.0.0.18849.exe) for your printer and windows 64 bit.

All version UPD latest and oldest ready at: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/UPD/

After downloaded driver file, before reinstall you need to uninstall the existing drivers for the printer completely from Windows, try follow these steps:

1. Turn off your printer.
2. Go to Control panel/Programs and feature, select all the HP LaserJet printer entries and uninstall them.
3. Now go to Control Panel/Devices and printer, select all the printer entries and remove the device.
4. Restart your computer.
5. Click the bottom-left "Start" button on desktop, type "Device manager" in the search box and tap "Device Manager" on the menu.
6. Once in "Device manager", click on the "View" tab in the top & choose “Show hidden devices”.
7. Then from the "Device manager" list, check the entries under “Printer”  – If there are any entries, please right click and choose “Uninstall” – In the confirm device uninstall popup, make sure you select the box which says “Delete the driver software for this device".
8. Also, check the entries under "Printer queue" and "Imaging devices" and repeat the same exercise. Delete any printer entry or any entry which says “Unknown device”.
9. Once done, close device-manger. Then press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" and press enter.
10. Under print server properties, go to “Drivers” and remove any entry there as well.
11. Again, go to the Run window, type – “c:/programdata” – Go to “Hewlett Packard” folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
12. Once the PC is on the desktop, press Win + R, it would bring a Run dialog box, 
13. Type %temp% in the run box and click Ok or hit the Enter button. It would bring up the temporary files folder. Delete the files in the folder (you might not be able to delete all the files).
14. Now restart your computer again.
15. Run upd-ps-x64-6.0.0.18849.exe (option).
16. Then turn on printer and wait some minutes to windows know your printer.
17. Go “Devices and Printers”, if you only see your printer is finish.

Hope this helps.
