Solved: HP Z3200: Printer Utility does not see the printer
« on: April 09, 2022, 09:47:35 am »

Hi folks,

my HP Z3200 had a bit of a holiday, almost 2 years. After bringing it to life again a few days ago everything works fine, except one thing: HP Printer Utility, both the old and the new version(*) do not see the printer in the network, neither on their own nor when trying to do it manually (by IP or hostname). Every other software sees the printer, I can open the printers support page in a web browser using the printers IP and I even can print out of Lightroom.

But, for making a new print profile for a new paper I do need Printer Utility.

Has anybody experienced the same problem and solved it?

Kind regards, Thomas

(*) The "old" printer utility, even the one that comes in the  PU_1.17.0.3.zip file is the 8 year old Printer Utility, even though HP claims it to be from 2019, the new one that is installed by HP_DesignJet_and_PageWide_XL_Installer.exe does not list the HPZ3200 as supported, and won't see the printer as well.

The printer is connected to a workstation running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, latest OS update.

Problem solved.

Reinstalling the "old" HP Utility (dated 2014) and restarting the computer let the software see the printer again.

Kind regeards, Thomas
