HP LaserJet Professional P1100/P1560/P1600 Series Printers - Software Technical Reference

Macintosh installation instructions
On a Macintosh computer, the installation procedures are basically the same for a network administrator,
a network client, and a single user. Install the software on any computer that has save rights to the
product. Users must have Administrator rights to install the software.
NOTE: If the computer is connected to the product by a LocalTalk (printer port) connection, you must
configure the AppleTalk (or network) control panel for the correct connection to communicate with the
product. You must set up the HP LaserJet Professional P1100/P1560/P1600 Series Printer , connect it
to the computer or network, and turn it on before the software is installed. Macintosh operating systems
do not support parallel connections.
The Macintosh partition contains an installer program for each language. Find the appropriate language
for the operating system that is being used, and then use the installer program for that language.
NOTE: Detailed installation steps can be found in Mac OS X installation on page 239.
