Software for Macintosh computers
The HP installer provides PostScript® Printer Description (PPD) files, Printer Dialog Extensions
(PDEs), and the Macintosh Configure Device for use with Macintosh computers.
If both the printer and the Macintosh computer are connected to a network, use the printer
embedded Web server (EWS) to configure the printer. For more information, see
Installing Macintosh printing system software for networks
This section describes how to install Macintosh printing system software. The printing system
software supports Mac OS X v10.2 and later.
The printing system software includes the following components:
●
PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files
The PPDs, in combination with the Apple PostScript printer drivers, provide access to printer
features. An installation program for the PPDs and other software is provided on the compact
disc (CD) that came with the printer. Use the Apple PostScript printer driver that comes with the
computer.
●
Macintosh Configure Device
The Macintosh Configure Device provides access to features that are not available in the printer
driver. Use the illustrated screens to select printer features and complete the following tasks
with the printer:
●
Name the printer.
●
Assign the printer to a zone on the network.
●
Assign an internet protocol (IP) address to the printer.
●
Configure and set the printer for network printing.
You can use the Macintosh Configure Device when your printer uses a universal serial bus
(USB) or is connected to a TCP/IP-based network.
For more information about using the Macintosh Configure Device, see
