7602 postscript

[t0061633]

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>

Thanks, BeemerBiker, for that reference. I thought PCL5 with the latest and current version...

So, does this mean that the 7602 can't handle even a plain PS file, that it would treat it as plain text?

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?
