EtherTalk or LocalTalk Networks (Mac OS) This section describes installing printer software for Mac OS-compatible computer systems. It also explains how to use the HP LaserJet Utility to configure HP printers connected to an AppleTalk network through an HP JetDirect print server. This section also explains how to use the Chooser to select and set up a Mac OS computer to print to your HP printer. Installing the Printer Software If the HP LaserJet Utility was included on your printer's CD-ROM, see your printer documentation for installation instructions, then skip to the next section to configure the printer. If you are installing the HP LaserJet Utility from the HP JetDirect CD-ROM, use the following installation instructions. Note If you are installing the HP LaserJet Utility from a source other than the CD-ROM, see the README file that accompanies the software for installation instructions. Note Automatic virus detection programs might interfere with the installation of this software.
