To install the printing system software
1.
Connect a USB cable between the USB port on the printer and the USB port on the computer. Use
a standard 2-meter (6.56-foot) USB cable.
2.
Insert the printer CD into the CD-ROM drive and run the installer.
The CD menu runs automatically. If the CD menu does not run automatically, 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.
5.
For Mac OS 9.1 and 9.2:
a.
On the computer hard drive, open Applications, open Utilities, and then open Print Center.
b.
Double-click Printer (USB), and then click OK.
c.
Next to USB Printer Selection, click Change.
d.
Select the printer, and then click OK.
e.
Next to Postscript Printer Description (PPD) File, click Auto Setup, and then click Create.
f.
On the Printing menu, click Set Default Printer.
For Mac OS X v10.2.8 and v10.3: USB queues are created automatically when the printer is
attached to the computer. However, the queue will use 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 Printer
Setup Utility, select the correct printer queue, and then click Show Info to open the Printer Info
dialog box. In the pop-up menu, select Printer Model, and then, in the pop-up menu in which
Generic is selected, select the correct PPD for the printer.
6.
Print a test page or a page from any software program to make sure that the software is correctly
installed.
If installation fails, reinstall the software. If this fails, see the installation notes or late-breaking
readme files on the printer CD or the flyer that came in the printer box, or go to
for help or more information.
NOTE
The icon on the Mac OS 9.x desktop looks generic. All of the print panels appear in the
Print dialog box with each software program.
