2. Open the CD icon on your desktop.
3. Open the OS X HP DJ 4000ps Install or the OS X HP DJ 4500ps Install icon, depending on
your printer model.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen.
5. When the printer driver has been installed, the HP Printer Setup Assistant will start
automatically, to set up a connection to your printer. Follow the instructions on your screen..
6. When the HP Printer Setup Assistant has finished, you can remove the CD from the CD drive.
The HP Printer Setup Assistant can be run separately from the CD, if the printer driver is already
installed.
If for some reason you prefer not to use the HP Printer Setup Assistant, you can follow the
instructions below for the specific type of connection that you have chosen.
NOTE The Printer Setup Utility was known as the Print Center in versions of Mac OS X
earlier than 10.3.
Manual connection using Bonjour/Rendezvous
To connect your printer using Bonjour/Rendezvous:
1.
Go to the front panel, select the icon, and then I/O setup > Fast Ethernet (or Gigabit
Ethernet, if you are using that option) > View configuration. Note the mDNS service name of
your printer, as shown on the front panel. You may need it later on.
2. Open the Printer Setup Utility and choose Add Printer from the Printers menu (or Add from the
Utilities list in earlier versions of Mac OS X).
3. In Mac OS 10.4 or later, click More Printers at the bottom of the Printer Browser.
4. Select Bonjour or Rendezvous from the popup menu.
5. A message may appear saying that new drivers have been detected; click OK to load them.
6. Select your printer from the list. If you cannot identify the printer by its name, use the mDNS
Service Name that you noted earlier.
7. Click the Add button.
8. The connection is configured automatically, and the printer is now available on the network.
Manual connection using AppleTalk
NOTE AppleTalk is supported only with the optional Jetdirect print server.
