Title: HP compatible Post by: PrairieShark on August 15, 2025, 08:39:57 PM Hello, I have a designjet 800ps that I've brought back from the dead and I am wondering if Qimage will work with it or not?
Title: Re: HP compatible Post by: admin on August 15, 2025, 10:33:46 PM Qimage doesn't print to printers directly: it uses the Windows driver. So as long as your printer has a standard Windows driver, Qimage will work with it. Of course, you can try the demo to see if it does all you need.

If I try to set the image bigger, the print stops at some point and not complete the print, or will leave a unprinted section in the image.
I've tried setting my paper to roll, but that doesn't do anything and I still have to manually enter a length paper which when the image stops printing it will roll out that length I enter and cut it off (I've wasted a bunch of paper) any tip on setting this up properly?? Title: Re: HP compatible Post by: admin on September 19, 2025, 10:50:07 AM From a software standpoint, about all you can do is try both EMF and raw spool format in Edit, Preferences, Printing Options in Qimage or in the printer settings in Windows. Given that it's a driver issue and the printer is 25 years old, you may need to search for help on some enthusiast Designjet forums. Someone else may have researched it and come up with a setting, connection method, etc.
