HP DesignJet T100 Not Showing ARCH D in Paper Size for Mac OS Sonoma 14.7

[DHerb2014]

Sure hope someone has come across this same issue. I run both platforms for Windows and Mac OS. I installed my HP DesignJet T100 on the MacBook Pro today. Great, no issues. 

 

I opened a flash drive with full backup of my project designed in Win 10. No issues. 

 

When I went to CA X16 "Print", it has generic settings for paper sizes and no ARCH D (24x36). Nothing for ARCH A thru E shows up. I spent 1 1/2 hours trying to navigate HP's web site. Not recommended. I'm desperate as I have a meeting with clients tomorrow and am trying to plot a Layout in ARCH D with MacBook Pro.

I found it! Here's the solution:

1. Video on YouTube called "How to Install HP Plotter T830 on Mac !! BigSur & Catalina !!..." At 1:20 he shows where to look for driver. It's called "HP DesignJet Mac Raster Driver" 

2. Go to Safari and look for HP.Support page and type in the HP DesignJet T100 (or 120) plotter. You'll not be able to download the Mac version from available dropdown menus. My humble apologies, but I could not recreate the steps to find where the Mac version is located. See first attached file "1. HP Support Page"

3. You're looking for a file called "Universal Raster . dmg" Could not upload the Universal Raster file as it's over 100 MB. See file "3. Universal..."

4. Once it loads, you'll get a screen recommending that you install a new printer, etc. See file "2. Installation Instructions".

5. Once you select the new printer from System Settings, you'll be able to see the various options for printing large formats such as D, E, etc. 

6. I printed out a color print of the Layout page and it's perfect. 

 

Hope this helps someone down the road.

Cheers!
