HP Utility
The HP Utility enables you to manage your printer from a computer with a TCP/IP connection.
NOTE: The HP Utility under Mac OS X and the HP DesignJet Utility under Windows have similar functions and
are sometimes referred to collectively as the HP Utility in this guide.
You can install the HP Utility from http://www.hp.com/go/T1700/drivers.
How to launch the HP Utility
● Under Windows, start the HP DesignJet Utility from the icon on your taskbar or from the Start menu >
HP > HP DesignJet Utility. This launches the HP DesignJet Utility, showing the printers installed on your
computer. When you open the HP DesignJet Utility for the rst time, it may oer you an automatic update

● Under Mac OS X, start the HP Utility from your Dock shortcut or by clicking Applications > HP > HP Utility.
This launches the HP Utility, showing the printers installed on your computer.
When you select your printer in the left pane, everything that appears in the right pane is specic to that
