Software for Macintosh computers
The HP installer provides PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files, Printer Dialog Extensions
(PDEs), and the HP LaserJet Utility for use with Macintosh computers.
The embedded Web server can be used with Macintosh computers if the printer is connected to a
network.
PPDs
Use PPDs in combination with the Apple PS drivers to gain access to the printer features and to
allow the computer to communicate with the printer. An installation program for the PPDs, PDEs, and
other software is provided on the CD. Use the appropriate PS driver that comes with the operating
system.
HP LaserJet Utility
Use the HP LaserJet Utility to control features that are not available in the driver. The illustrated
screens make selecting printer features easy. Use the HP LaserJet Utility to perform the following
tasks:
■ Name the printer, assign it to a zone on the network, and download files and fonts.
■ Configure and set the printer for Internet protocol (IP) printing.
NOTE The HP LaserJet Utility is not currently supported for OS X, but the utility is supported
for the Classic environment.
