Installing the Macintosh printing system
On a Macintosh-compatible computer, the installation procedures are the same for a network administrator, a network
client, and a single user. Install the software on any computer that has access rights to the printer.
Note
If the computer is connected to the printer by a LocalTalk (Printer Port) or EtherTalk connection, the
AppleTalk (or Network) control panel must be configured for the correct connection to communicate
with the printer. The HP LaserJet 4200 and 4300 series printers must be set up, connected to the
computer, and turned on before the software is installed. Macintosh OS systems do not support
parallel connections. You must use a USB connection for a direct connection to a computer running
Macintosh OS. In the following instructions, "XXXX" represents the HP LaserJet printer model number.
The Macintosh partition contains an installer program for each language. Find the language appropriate for the
operating system being used, and use the installer program for that language.

Insert the CD-ROM that came with the Macintosh printer software into the CD-ROM drive.

the CD-ROM window.

must perform an initial search of the computer for up to one full minute. During this time the installer
may appear to be making no progress.

Apple Talk Zone or to name your printer, you must select Custom Install and then select HP USB and
all other applicable components. Installing the HP USB components will require you to restart your
