Your new HP Designjet Z2100 or Z3100 wants to provide an easy and complete control over your
printer. For that, they come with utilities to help you manage, diagnose and troubleshoot to ensure
it is always ready to produce the best-possible results.
There are 2 different versions depending on the operating system but with equal functionality:
•
HP Easy Printer Care (for Windows) and
•
HP Printer Utility (for Mac)
These utilities are similar to ones you can find in other hp printers; however, the functionality is
printer-dependable, so what we are going to describe is just valid for the HP Designjet Z series
This utility “talks” with the printer and gets all relevant information to provide easy access to all the
information you need for setup, monitoring, and troubleshooting. In one place you have device and
status information, control over all color-related functions and media management (including ICC
profile generation), information for job accounting, tools to set up network and front panel settings
remotely, and access to alert messages, software & firmware updates, and troubleshooting tools.
Finally, this utility is installed by default in MAC but you need to force the install in Windows. You
can find it in the DVD that comes with the printer or you can also download it from the HP
Knowledge Center at
www.hp.com/go/knowledge_center/djz3100
Once there, select the link “Drivers & software” on the right-top side.

Note
: do not download the software from this page since it does not contain the particular
designjet Z series plug-in needed to get all functionality
