Installing the Macintosh printing system
On a Macintosh-compatible computer, the installation procedures are the same for a network
administrator, a network client, and a single user. Install the software on any computer that has
access rights to the printer.
NOTE
If the computer is connected to the printer by a LocalTalk (printer port) or EtherTalk
connection, you must configure the AppleTalk (or network) control panel for the correct
connection to communicate with the product. You must set up the HP LaserJet 2410, 2420,
and 2430 printer, connect it to the computer or network, and turn it on before the software is
installed. Macintosh OS systems do not support parallel connections. You can use a cross-
over Ethernet cable for a direct connection to a computer running the Macintosh OS.
The Macintosh partition contains an installer program for each language. Find the appropriate
language for the operating system that is being used, and then use the installer program for that
language.
NOTE
