HP LaserJet Utility

HP LaserJet Utility allows control over features that are not available in the driver. The illustrated screens make selecting printer features from the Macintosh computer easier than ever. Use the HP LaserJet Utility to do the following:

●Name the printer, assign it to a zone on the network, download files and fonts, and change most of the printer settings. See the HP LaserJet Utility help.

●From the computer, lock out functions on the printer to prevent unauthorized access.
