Note To set up a Windows computer to use the network printer using Windows-sharing If the printer is directly connected to a computer using a parallel cable, you can share the printer on the network so that other network users can print to it. You can also share a USB directly connected printer. See your Windows documentation to enable Windows-sharing. After the printer is shared, install the printer software on all computers that share the printer. Installing Macintosh printing system software for networks This section describes how to install Macintosh printing system software. The printing system software supports Apple Mac OS version 8.6 through 9.2.x, Apple Mac OS version 10.1, 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 CD-ROM that came with the printer. Use the Apple LaserWriter 8 printer driver that comes with the computer. ● HP LaserJet Utility The HP LaserJet 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 IP to the printer. ● Download files and fonts. ● Configure and set the printer for IP or AppleTalk printing. The HP LaserJet Utility is not currently supported for OS X, but the utility is supported for the Classic environment. To install printer drivers from Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2 1.
