Instructions
Installing the Printer
The plotter is an HP DesignJet T1100ps. It is connected to the network using an HP JetDirect EX interface. Please don't change the printserver's IP address or configuration, it is not at fault. See HOWTO Connect To The Printers.
Drivers
Drivers for many O/Ss can be found here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-designjet-t1100-printer-series/3338887
How Much Does it Cost?
The printer will tell you the paper and ink used for each job. Please check the job online and contribute toward the consumables. This pays for both ink and paper. Put money in the box beside the printer and pat it on the back for a job well done.
Most commonly needed info from that sheet:
Ink: $0.94 / ml
HP Coated paper: $0.28 / sq ft

Poster Printing
In Photoshop create a custom paper size matching the dimension of your poster. The dimension of the side of your poster you want parallel to the paper spool needs to be in the width section. Set the layout to landscape and keep an eye on the first few passes of the print head to confirm it is printing in the correct orientation!
Banner Printing
Please see the manual until it can be tested and summarized here.
When You're Done
Before you walk away, make sure that the printhead is "parked" on the left side. Do not turn the machine off. It will go into sleep mode on its own. Turning it off will result in it doing a lengthy (20 minute) calibration when turned back on. Please see the manual until it can be tested and summarized here.
For More Information
The user manual for the printer is available here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00911766 The paper manuals are on the printer itself.
Useful Notes
You can submit jobs directly through the web interface. Make sure your print job is already saved to the size you want it to print out from what ever program you made it in(if you want the poster to be 35 in wide by 52 long, then save is as 32inx52in). Also make sure that it is saved in portrait direction. Whichever side is at the top of the screen will be what comes out of the printer 1st. If you try to rotate the image in Linux, the rotation will not be recognized in the web interface. Rotate it in Windows instead.
Maintenance Info
PSU replaced on 2026-07-31. Diagnostic test is able to read fan speed from new PSU, somehow.

ToDo
- Needs a fitted cover, at some point.
- How-to list for printing patterns and posters on the roll paper at full size.
- Order spare ink cartridges and printheads. Preferably set up a process that makes reordering simple, if we have high print volume.
- Set up something that does the accounting for paper and ink usage, and ink/printhead orders, so we don't have to track people down if they forget to pay for their prints...
