I started my own engnieering company with a new computer with Windows 7 (64 bit) with AutoCad 2011. Bought an HP 750C Plus plotter but cannot find the driver. I saw the note on this site for downloading the driver for the 1050C to work with Windows 7. I downloaded the 1050C driver from the HP site but I do not know how to assign the driver to the hardware that my computer detects after I plugged in the 750C.
Do I need an original driver for the 750C to make this all work? I am just a user, not an installer.
Guess what. The 750c driver for XP-64 works on 7-64. A little trickier to install, but of course since it is the actual driver for the plotter, it works perfectly. Also works better for 455ca than the 1050 driver

The key point is to set temporary User account control settings off, then install inf file, restart and again set user control settings to default value.
OK I also dont really know what this means i have the same windows 7 problem and I need to get it to work on my plotter. can you give a more detailed list of instructions please?
thanks you can reply to fasorto@gmail.com
download and unzip the file to a directory on your machine. Go to control panel users and turn off user account control. restart your computer. Add the plotter as a printer (you may find it easiest to specify that it is connected on lpt1 and change that later) using the unzipped directory for the driver. Go back to control panel users and turn user account control back on. Reboot. go to printers and devices and adjust the settings as desired, including the port. You may need to add a port if it is connected by a dedicated printserver, but that is specific to the printserver. That's it.
I have successfully downloaded the XP 64 version onto my Windows 7 machine, installed the printer but now I cannot get my 750C Plus plotter to spit out the test plot. I have a brand new Dell computer with 4 USB ports and used one of them as the connection to the plotter with a cable that transitions to the old 25 pin port. The test plot is in the que but is not printing. What port should I be connected to?
I have 3 LPT ports, 5 serial ports and 2 virtual USB ports, and an XPSport (local port) options and am plotting to the LPT1 port currently? I don't which to connect to on the laptop nor which one is assigned to actual connection on the machine. Or do I use an ether net cable betweent the two? If so, which port selection do I choose to plot to?
I am am not a hardware guy and feel helpless.

This is not something that can be done just by rote and saying use port A. To resolve this I would have to do a remote login to your computer. Not volunteering as it is pretty time consuming.
Driver pl532en works for HP DesignJet 750C+ on Windows 7 (64 bit).
The driver also appears to support:
