Software for Macintosh
For Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x, the Apple LaserWriter 8 driver must be installed to use the PPD file. Use
the Apple LaserWriter 8 driver that came with your Macintosh. For Mac OS X, use Print Center to
print.
The printer includes the following software for Macintosh computers.
PPDs (Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x and Mac OS X classic)
PPDs, in combination with the LaserWriter driver, provide access to the printer features and
allow the computer to communicate with the printer. An installation program for the PPDs is
provided on the HP Color LaserJet 2500 CD-ROM.
PDEs (Mac OS X)
PDEs are code plug-ins that provide access to printer features, such as number of copies,
duplexing, and quality settings. An installation program for the PDEs and other software is
provided on the HP Color LaserJet 2500 CD-ROM.
Embedded Web server
When the printer is connected to the network, the embedded Web server is supported for
Windows 95 and later, Mac OS 8.6 and later, UNIX, Linux, and OS/2.
With the embedded Web server, you can gain access to the printer settings and information by
typing an IP address in a Web browser (such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet
Explorer) on any computer. You can use the embedded Web server to configure the printer and
view status information, as well as view a textual message regarding what a Status light
message on the printer means. See
“Managing the printer” on page 55 for more information.
