● Availability HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP Series PPD A postscript printer description (PPD) file is a text file that contains keywords and other information to specify printer features, options, and settings. PPD files are created by printer vendors for a specific postscript printer or printer family. PPD files are created by printer vendors to describe the set of printer features available for their postscript printers. On the Macintosh, PPD files provide all the information necessary to describe a postscript printer's features, including options and default settings. They also contain the postscript code used to invoke those features. HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP Series PDE A Print Dialog extension file can specify one or more PDEs to load in the Print dialog box to provide HP printer specific features. A printing dialog extension (PDE) is a way to extend the Print dialog box in Mac OS X with custom printer features. A PPD file and printing dialog extension (PDE) for a printer are bound to a printer queue when the queue is created. HP USB EWS Gateway For network connected printers, the EWS can be accessed directly by typing the network IP address or DNS name of the product into the Web browser. HP USB EWS Gateway software, which is automatically installed, allows a Web browser to access the product's EWS if the product is connected using a USB cable. Click the Utility button when using a USB connection to access the EWS though the Web browser. HP Printer Utility Use the HP Printer Utility to configure, administer, and set up product features that are not available from the printer driver. You can use the HP Printer Utility with HP printers connected via USB, ethernet, and wireless networks. Supported printer drivers for Macintosh The HP installer provides Postscript Printer Description (PPD) files, Printer Dialog Extensions (PDEs), and the HP Printer Utility for use with Macintosh computers. The PPDs, in combination with the Apple postscript printer drivers, provide access to device features. Use the Apple postscript printer driver that comes with the computer.
