HP 2410 manual Installing the Macintosh printing system

Non-Windows installation

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, you must configure the AppleTalk (or network) control panel for the correct connection to communicate with the product. You must set up the HP LaserJet 2410, 2420, and 2430 printer, connect it to the computer or network, and turn it on before the software is installed. Macintosh OS systems do not support parallel connections. You can use a cross- over Ethernet cable for a direct connection to a computer running the Macintosh OS.

The Macintosh partition contains an installer program for each language. Find the appropriate language for the operating system that is being used, and then use the installer program for that language.

NOTE Detailed installation steps can be found in Mac OS Classic installation or Mac OS X installation.

To install the HP LaserJet printing-system software for the Macintosh OS

1Insert the CD that came with the Macintosh printing-system software into the CD-ROM drive.

NOTE If the CD screen does not open automatically, double-click the hp LaserJet 24X0 CD-ROM icon on the desktop to open the CD-ROM window.

2Open the HP LaserJet Installers folder. Find the Installer icon for the appropriate language. Double-click the Installer icon to launch the Installer. In the opening dialog, click Continue.

NOTE The Continue button appears only after you type the "Admin" password in the Authenticate dialog box (OS X, V10.1 and later only).

3The main Installer dialog box appears. Click Install and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the software installation.

NOTE If you are installing the printing-system software on a Macintosh OS X system, please be patient. The installer must perform an initial search of the computer for up to 1 minute. During this time the installer might appear to be stalled.

4When software installation is complete, click Quit. Select one of the following options to finish setting up your product:

●Set up an AppleTalk networked printer with Mac OS 9.x

●Set up a printer with Mac OS X
