Software for Macintosh computers The HP installer provides PostScript® Printer Description (PPD) files, Printer Dialog Extensions (PDEs), and the HP Printer Utility for use with Macintosh computers. If both the printer and the Macintosh computer are connected to a network, use the printer embedded Web server (EWS) to configure the printer. For more information, see Using the embedded Web server. 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.
