HP DesignJet 450C - anyone else got one? Help!

Hi all,

I just got hold of the A1 size 450C. It seems to plot ok but I have to
ask of other users - Do they all clank and bang about during startup
like mine? It sounds like something serious is going on under the
cover but maybe they all do that??

Thanks for any feedback.

even the new ones are loud and obnoxious. it really is amazing to
good ol' bob z. that HP large-format plotters are so popular. bob z.
worked in a place that wore-out a 450c and replaced it with HP's
latest and greatest and that thing squealed worse than any person
acting like a piggy near some backwater swimming hole.

bob z. will never buy an HP for home. never, ever, never.

We have a 450C also. I've never heard a plotter make so much noise
before. We just purchased a OCE 9400 last year from one of our sister
companies for $400. Great machine.

I got a new computer recently, and I was hoping that someone maybe had
the printer software lying around that they could email to me for the
450C A0?

I looks like the only thing shown on the HP website is only for
AutoCAD now.
