Mac printing-system software
The printing-system software for Mac is composed of an HP-created postscript (PS) printer definition
file (PPD) and a Printer Dialog Extension (PDE) file that work together with the Mac OS printing
system. These files are used by the Mac OS printing system to determine default printer-driver
settings and to allow the user to select between the various print options and settings. An HP-
supplied Mac printer configuration utility is provided, which allows the user to access the
HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS) for additional configuration and product status monitoring. The
following are provided on the printing-system CD:

HP LaserJet M1530 PPD
A postscript printer description (PPD) file is a text file that contains keywords and other information to
specify printer features, options, and settings. PPD files are created by printer vendors for a specific
postscript printer or printer family. PPD files are created by printer vendors to describe the set of
printer features available for their postscript printers. On the Mac, PPD files provide all the information
necessary to describe a postscript printer’s features, including options and default settings. They also
contain the postscript code used to invoke those features.
