Designjet Z6600 Compatibility with Mac 0s 10.13

[LRS3]

HP Designjet Printers - Mac Compatible Designjet Printers web page lists compatibility: 

HP Designjet Z6600 60-in Production Printer: Postscript 10.7 - 10.11 https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04486562

My iMac OS is 10.13. Will it work?

If not, does HP plan on extending compatibility for newer Mac OS?

Thank you

Hi,

Your printer is compatible with 10.13, you may download and install its drivers below, either the Raster or the PostScript driver should work:

You may find the difference between the different drivers listed below, the advantage or disadvantages for each driver type for any specific need:

Thank you ShlomiL,

Does the Z6600 need to have Postscript capability or card installed to work?

The HP Customer Support - Knowledge Base link I  suggests only the Postscript driver: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04486562

We installed and tried both Raster and Postscript drivers. I'm able to connect to the printer using a Generic PCL Laser Printer. This configuration only prints in black and white. The largest print is 11x17. There's no additional large format options. Strangely, it offers duplexing. When I select and set up a custom size, it prints black and white size: 8.5x11

Please try to reinstall the Raster driver, be sure to select the correct driver within the Use drop-down menu when adding the printer from Printers & Scanners, a Postscript Support is optional and require an upgrade kit:

HP-GL/2, HP-RTL drivers for Windows; PostScript Windows and Mac drivers with optional PostScript/PDF Upgrade Kit

Hope that may help,
