Apple LaserWriter 8 Driver

The driver for the Apple LaserWriter 8 comes on the compact disc shipped with the printer.

Apple LaserWriter 8 Driver applies to English only.

PostScript Printer Description Files (PPDs)

PPDs, in combination with the Apple LaserWriter 8 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 Apple LaserWriter 8 Driver that comes with the computer or is installed with the HP printer software compact disc.

HP LaserJet Utility

The HP LaserJet Utility is not supported for Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.

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.)

Configure and set the printer for IP printing.
