							Macintosh utility and application support
The HP Installer provides PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files, Printer Dialog Extensions (PDEs),
and the Macintosh Configure Device for use with Macintosh computers.
If both the MFP and the Macintosh computer are connected to a network, use the MFP embedded Web
server (EWS) to configure the MFP. For more information, see 
HP Device Configuration (Mac OS
X V10.3 and Mac OS X V10.4) and Use the embedded Web server.
Install Macintosh printing system software for networks
The printing system software supports Mac OS X V10.3 and later.
●Install PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files
The PPDs, in combination with the Apple PostScript printer drivers, provide access to MFP
features. An installation program for the PPDs and other software is provided on the compact disc
(CD) that came with the MFP. Use the Apple PostScript printer driver that comes with the computer.
●HP Device Configuration
The Macintosh Configure Device provides access to features that are not available in the printer
driver. These are examples of things that can be done using the Macintosh Configure Device:
●Name the printer.
●Assign an internet protocol (IP) address to the MFP.
●Configure and set the MFP for network printing.
Use the Macintosh Configure Device when the MFP uses a universal serial bus (USB) or is
connected to a TCP/IP-based network.
For more information about using the Macintosh Configure Device, see 
HP Device Configuration
(Mac OS X V10.3 and Mac OS X V10.4).

							Install Macintosh printing system software for direct connections
(USB)
Install the Apple PostScript driver that came with the Macintosh computer to use the PPD files.
To install the printing system software
1.Connect a USB cable between the USB port on the MFP and the USB port on the computer. Use
a standard 5-meter (16.4 feet) or less, certified USB cable.
2.Insert the MFP CD into the CD-ROM drive and run the installer.
Double-click the CD icon on the desktop.
3.Double-click the Installer icon in the HP LaserJet Installer folder.
4.Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
NOTEFor Mac OS X v10.3 and later: USB queues are created automatically when the
MFP is attached to the computer. However, the queue uses a generic PPD if the installer
has not been run before the USB cable is connected. To change the queue PPD, open the
Print Center or MFP Setup Utility, select the correct MFP queue, then click Show Info to
open the Printer Info dialog box. In the pop-up menu, select Printer Model, then, in the
pop-up menu in which Generic is selected, select the correct PPD for the MFP.
