Does anyone have a PPD file for this printer?
BTW, HP support really sucks! The chat function sends a useless link after 10 minutes. It insists I reenter the product, OS, and country, though all this was provided before starting the chat. If chat uses some "AI" support, it's the slowest AI I've ever encountered. The call back function gets me to people who never heard of Postscript. HP wants my email address and phone number but won't tell me theirs. I've already spent two hours with them trying to get a simple file but the time seems completely wasted.

The HP 7602 is a PCL 3 printer, it is not a native PS printer so it has .gpd files, not .ppd files
look in
C:\whatever\HPEasyStart-16.2.4-ST7600_55_3_5043_Webpack.exe\Driver\
or look here
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3>

It converts to PCL 3 and which is the language that printer uses.
I am not and expert on PPD or printer internals but PPD files are used in Linux and MacOS and GPD seems to be what windows uses for printing.
There is a video here of a tool that can "find" PPD files in windows

Was any of this helpful? What are you trying to do with the PPD file?
