Installing the Macintosh printing system On a Macintosh computer, the installation procedures are basically 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 product. You must set up the HP Color LaserJet 3800, connect it to the computer or network, and turn it on before the software is installed. Macintosh operating systems do not support parallel connections. The Macintosh partition contains an installer program for each language. Find the appropriate language for the operating system that is being used, and then use the installer program for that language. NOTE Detailed installation steps can be found in Mac OS X Classic installation or Mac OS X installation. Installing the HP LaserJet printing-system software for the Macintosh OS 1. Insert the Macintosh printing-system software CD into the CD-ROM drive. NOTE If the CD screen does not open automatically, double-click the hp color LaserJet 3800 CD-ROM icon on the desktop to open the CD-ROM window. 2. Double-click the icon for your OS. For instance, if you are installing the printer in any version of Mac OS X, double-click the Mac OS X icon. If you are installing the printer in Mac Classic or any version of Mac OS 9, click the Mac OS 9 icon. NOTE The Continue button appears only after you type the "admin" password in the Authenticate dialog box (Mac OS X, V10.1.5 and later only). 3. The main Installer dialog box appears. Click Install and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the software installation. NOTE If you are installing the printing-system software on a Macintosh OS X system, 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. 4. When software installation is complete, click Quit. Select one of the following options to finish setting up the product: ● Set up an AppleTalk networked printer with Mac OS 9 V9.2.2 (Mac OS X Classic). ● Set up a printer with Mac OS X. The software program that you use to finish setting up the printer varies by operating system. The following table shows the print setup tools that are available. 316 Chapter 6 Installation for Macintosh operating systems ENWW
