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 9.x and later and OS X V10.1 and later.
The printing system software includes the following components:
● PostScript Printer Description files. The PostScript (PS) Printer Description files
(PPDs), in combination with the Apple LaserWriter 8 printer driver, provide access to the
printer features and allow the computer to communicate with the printer. An installation
program for the PPDs and other software is provided on the CD-ROM that came with the
printer. In addition, 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 tasks with the printer:
– Name the printer, assign it to a zone on the network, download files and fonts, and
change many of the printer settings.
– Set a password for the printer.
– Check the levels of printer consumables.
– Configure and set the printer for Internet Protocol (IP) or AppleTalk printing.
To install printer drivers in Mac OS 9.x
