[SML] OT HP DesignJet 70 printer/ driver

[Ray Gibson]

The driver was integrated into the OS around 10.5, so there wouldn't
be an HP driver to download regardless.  Whether or not Apple dropped
support for it, I don't know.  I would consider it unlikely.  Have you
considered trying a network connection instead of USB?  I think you
might have better luck.  I don't think Apple would *remove* drivers,
but stranger things have happened.  Either way, I think a generic ppd
would work for this printer, if in fact you can communicate with it.

Also, I believe that they publish their printer drivers through
Software Update now, so go ahead and run the software update on your
new Mac and there's a good chance your printer will just start
working.

Good luck.
