You can connect your printer directly to a computer without going through a network, by using the printer's built-
in Hi-Speed USB device port.
Printer software installation
The following instructions apply if you intend to print from software applications using a printer driver. See
Printing on page 46 for alternative ways of printing.
1. Make sure the printer is either turned o, or disconnected from the computer.
2. Insert the HP Start-up Kit DVD into your DVD drive.
3. Open the DVD icon on your desktop.
4. Open the Mac OS X HP DesignJet Installer.
5. Follow the instructions on your screen.
6. The printer software is installed, including the printer driver and the HP Utility.
7. Make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to the computer with a certied USB cable.
NOTE: The use of non-certied USB cables can lead to connectivity problems. Only cables certied by the
USB Implementor's Forum (http://www.usb.org/) should be used with this printer.
8. Shortly afterwards, a print queue is created automatically for your printer.
Sharing the printer
If your computer is connected to a network, you can make your directly connected printer available to other
computers on the same network.
1. Double-click the System Preferences icon on the Dock menu bar on your desktop.
2. To enable printer sharing, go Sharing, select Printer Sharing, and then check the printer(s) that you want to
share.
3. Your printer now automatically appears in the list of shared printers displayed by any other computer
running Mac OS and connected to your local network.
Please bear in mind the following considerations.
●
Any other users wishing to share your printer must install the printer software on their own computers.
●
Anyone sharing your directly connected printer will be able to send print jobs, but will not be able to receive
information from the printer—which aects alerts, status reports, paper management, administration and
troubleshooting.
●
You may nd that sharing your directly connected printer with other users will slow down your computer
unacceptably.
