Driver history
-
CalderaRIP V19.0.2:
- "W" Drivers, Revision A: Resolved a regression introduced in version 19 that caused the "RIP then Print" action to fail with multilayer jobs. The action now works as expected.
-
CalderaRIP V18.2:
- A new option, "Display White Printhead Warnings," is now available under Printer Settings > Printer tab. When enabled, the printer driver will display two distinct messages based on your production:
-
For jobs with white ink, the driver will prompt you to unload the white ink printhead from the storage system, and install it following the instructions on the printer's control panel.
Warning
If you don't install the white printhead, printing will continue without interruption; however, the controller will register an error.
For more information on handling white inks in these printers, please refer to the HP documentation (starting on page 202).
- For jobs without white ink, the driver will recommend placing the white ink printhead in the storage system to extend its life.

CalderaRIP V18.1:
- Only 700-W and 800-W: Fixed issues related to abortion and errors when printing multi-layer jobs.

A driver restart was necessary to resume printing.
