It would print ok, but after each print an error was shown, and i had to restart the printer for the next job. I found out that, by...

PrintFab for printer which is not supported by Windows 10

Hi,

is it possible to install a printer which is not supported by Windows 10 but by PrintFab?

Specifically i am asking for a HP Designjet 500. There are no Windows 10 drivers for this printer, but PrintFab supports it.

Thanks
