Software for Macintosh

The following sections describe the Macintosh software that is available for the HP LaserJet P2015
Series printers.

Macintosh printer drivers

A printer driver is the software component that provides access to printer features and provides the
means for the computer to communicate with the printer.

Install the Macintosh printer driver

This section explains how to install the printing system software for Macintosh OS X V10.2.8, V10.3.9

NOTE

USB queues are created automatically when the printer is attached to the computer.

However, the queue will use a generic PPD if the installer has not been run before the USB cable
is connected. To change the queue PPD, open the Print Center or Printer Setup Utility, select
the correct printer queue, and then click Show Info to open the Printer Info dialog box. In the
pop-up menu, select Printer Model, and then, in the pop-up menu in which Generic is selected,
select the correct PPD for the printer.
