Configuring the Printer

The HP LaserJet Utility allows printer settings such as printer name
and preferred zone to be configured from your MacOS system.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that only network administrators use
the printer configuration capabilities of this utility.

If this printer is to be serviced by a print spooler, set up the printer’s

Running the HP LaserJet Utility

With the printer turned on and online, and the print server
connected to the printer and to the network, double-click the
