Software for Macintosh Computers

PostScript Printer Description Files (PPDs)

PPDs, in combination with the LaserWriter driver, access the printer features and allow the computer to communicate with the printer. An installation program for the PPDs and other software is provided on the compact disc. Use the LaserWriter printer driver that comes with the computer. (The LaserWriter driver is also available from Apple.)

HP LaserJet Utility

HP LaserJet Utility allows control of 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:

Customize the printer’s control panel messages.

Name the printer, assign it to a zone on the network, download files and fonts, and change most of the printer settings.

Set a password for the printer.

From the computer, lock out functions on the printer’s control panel to prevent unauthorized access. (See the printer software help.)
