 About
Palomar Software
Like several other
organizations in our
area, Palomar Software takes its name from Palomar
Mountain, one of the highest peaks in San Diego County –
and the best known because of the world-famous Palomar
Observatory located there.
Company History
Palomar Software, Inc. is a privately-held California
corporation that was founded on July 1, 1987 and has been
based in Oceanside, California
since November 1987.
The company is a Macintosh-only developer of computer
software and has specialized in printer drivers. It’s
best known for supplying the code used in the HP
DeskWriter series as well as various fax modems (such as
FaxSTF and those from
Diamond Multimedia).
Palomar previously developed the PLOTTERgeist and PowerPlot
products now sold and supported by InfoWave
Wireless Messaging.
Palomar now develops printer drivers under contract for
the major manufacturers of USB computer printers. These OEM
printer makers need software to sell their printers to
Macintosh owners. We do not sell or develop software for the
general public.

Software’s 17-year history, go to Palomar’s

Contacting Palomar
Because Palomar does not market its products to the
general public, we do not have a tech support or customer
service department. We can be reached at:
Palomar Software, Inc.
P.O. Box 120

Supporting Oceanside Schools
Palomar does not market its products to the K-12
education market. Thus we were often asked “Why are
you spending so much time and money donating computers and
wiring to local schools?“ (The question generally comes
from those people who don’t volunteer themselves.) The
answer is that we feel – as do the hundreds of other
involved companies statewide – that understanding
technology is essential for the state’s future workers
and citizens.
Palomar’s donations included used computers, printers, and wiring during the 1996 NetDay event. Unlike larger firms, Palomar
is unable to make an impact statewide, so we’ve chosen
to concentrate our efforts in one community (Oceanside)
where we work and live.
