Software for Macintosh Computers

Apple LaserWriter 8 Driver

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

Note

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

Note

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.
