Installing Macintosh printing system software for networks

This section describes how to install Macintosh printing system software. The printing system software supports Mac OS versions 8.6 through 9.2.x, Mac OS version 10.1, and later.

The printing system software includes the following components:

●PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files

The PPDs, in combination with the PostScript printer drivers, provide access to the MFP features. An installation program for the PPDs and other software is provided on the CD-ROM that came with the MFP. Use the Apple 8 printer driver that comes with the computer.

●HP LaserJet Utility

The HP LaserJet Utility provides access to features that are not available in the printer driver. Use the illustrated screens to select MFP features and complete the following tasks with the MFP:

•Name the MFP.

•Assign the MFP to a zone on the network.

•Assign an IP address to the MFP.

•Download files and fonts.

•Configure and set the MFP for IP or AppleTalk printing.

The HP LaserJet Utility is not currently supported for Macintosh OS X, but the utility is supported for the Classic environment.
