Installing Macintosh printing system software for networks
This section describes how to install Macintosh printing system software. The printing system software
supports Mac OS v9.1 and later and 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.
● HP Printer Utility
The HP Printer Utility 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.
● Download files and fonts.
● Configure and set the printer for IP or AppleTalk printing.
You can use the HP Printer Utility when your printer uses a universal serial bus (USB) or is
connected to a TCP/IP-based network.
NOTE The HP Printer Utility is supported for Mac OS X v10.2 or later.
