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 printer. You must set up the HP Color LaserJet 9500 series printers, connect them to the computer, and turn them on before the software is installed. Macintosh OS systems do not support parallel connections. You can use either a USB cable or a cross-over Ethernet cable for a direct connection to a computer running the Macintosh OS. In the following instructions, "XXXX" represents the HP Color LaserJet 9500 printer model number. The Macintosh partition contains an installer program for each language. Find the language appropriate for the operating system being used, and then use the installer program for that language. To install the HP LaserJet printer software for the Macintosh OS 1. Insert the CD-ROM that came with the Macintosh printer software into the CD-ROM drive. Note If the CD screen does not open automatically, double-click the CD-ROM icon on the desktop to open the CD-ROM window. Note 2. Open the HP LaserJet Installers folder. Find the Installer icon for the appropriate language. Double-click the Installer icon to launch the Installer. In the opening dialog, click Continue. The Continue button appears only after you type the "Admin" password in the Authenticate dialog box (OS X, versions 10.1 and later only). Note 3. The main Installer dialog box appears. Click Install and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the software installation. If you are installing the printer software on a Macintosh OS X system, please be patient. The installer must perform an initial search of the computer for up to 1 minute. During this time the installer might appear to be stalled. Note If you want to use the HP LaserJet utility (Mac OS 8.6 through 9.x only) by using a USB connection to configure Apple Talk Zone or to name your printer, you must select Custom Install and then select HP USB and all of the other applicable components. Installing the HP USB components requires that you restart your computer. If you do not want to use the HP LaserJet utility, continue with the following Easy Install instructions. 4. When software installation is complete, click Quit. Choose one of the following options to finish setting up your printer: • Set up a USB direct printer connection with Mac OS 8.6 through 9.x • Set up an AppleTalk networked printer with Mac OS 8.6 through 9.x • Set up a printer with Mac OS X To set up an AppleTalk networked printer with Mac OS 8.6 through 9.x 1. Open the Chooser from within the Apple Menu. 2. Click LaserWriter 8 on the left side of the Chooser dialog box. 3. Click the appropriate Zone to select it, if required. 4. Click your printer name from the list that appears on the right side of the Chooser dialog box, and then click Create. 240 Macintosh Software Technical Reference ENWW
