I use my Designjet 450c to make black line survey maps. the ink "bleeds" or "runs" on the best and normal print quality settings, while not doing it on the fast setting but the fast setting is to light for my needs. I have changed media from 20lb bond to 24lb bond and have also changed ink cartriges to no avail.
Most likely the media (paper) is touching the print heads. This can occur because 1) the media holding mechanism is not holding the media correctly, and the media buckles, or 2) the carriage to media distance is too small. (Check the adjustment in chapter 5 of the manual).
I found a copy of the procesure online:
HP DesignJet 430 Service Manual Adjusting The Carriage To Media Distance

First try the driver for XP

If that does not work try the driver for the designjet 500 or 430 sometimes a like model driver will work.

THIS SOLUTION IM ABOUT TO TELL YOU IS IN MY EXPERIENCE THE EASIEST ONE JUST DOWNLOAD THE WINDOWS XP DRIVER FOR THE HP DESIGNJET 450C PRINTER AND INSTALL IT INTO THE WINDOWS PRINTER PLATTFORM, YOU MAY SEE SOME ANOUNCEMENTS FROM YOUR COMPUTER TELLING YOU THAT THE PROGRAM YOUR TRYING TO INSTALL MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE "DONT LISTEN TO THEM" JUST CONTINUE YOUR INSTALLATION AND PRESTO YOUR DESIGNJET PRINTER WILL WORK PERFECTLY

Kavalbe,
You can find drivers for your DesighJet printer here:
Then, a JetDirect 170X or 300X will fit the bill for connecting the printer to the network.
Also, you preferably should use an HP Standard TCP/IP port for connecting the driver to the network, since the MS version in some cass have issues (prints can be reprinted when crossing over to a new date, prints can disappear...)
A stable version of HP's Standard Port Monitor can be found here: (Note, this is a direct ftp link to HP's ftp server, so you should get a file for downloading when you click the link.)
Else, you can use either the software that comes with the JetDirect box or download its software from hp.com. But the HP Standard Port Monitor software is easier to use if you already have the printer driver.
