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.

PPDs

PPDs, in combination with the Apple PostScript drivers, allow you to gain access to the printer features and allow the computer to communicate with the printer. An installation program for the PPDs, PDEs, and other software is provided on the CD-ROM. 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 easier than ever. Use the HP LaserJet Utility to do the following:

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.
