Macintosh printing-system software

The printing-system software for Macintosh is composed of an HP-created postscript (PS) printer definition file (PPD) and a Printer Dialog Extension (PDE) file that work together with the Macintosh OS printing system. These files are used by the Macintosh OS printing system to determine default printer- driver settings and to allow the user to select between the various print options and settings. An HP- supplied Macintosh printer configuration utility is provided, which allows the user to access the

HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS) for additional configuration and product status monitoring. The following are provided on the printing-system CD:

A postscript printer description (PPD) file is a text file that contains keywords and other information to specify printer features, options, and settings. PPD files are created by printer vendors for a specific postscript printer or printer family. PPD files are created by printer vendors to describe the set of printer features available for their postscript printers. On the Macintosh, PPD files provide all the information necessary to describe a postscript printer’s features, including options and default settings. They also contain the postscript code used to invoke those features.
