Software for Macintosh computers

PostScript Printer Description files (PPDs)

PPDs, in combination with the Apple LaserWriter 8 Driver, access 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. Use the Apple LaserWriter 8 Driver that comes
with the computer.

HP LaserJet Utility

HP LaserJet Utility allows control of features that are not available in
the driver. The illustrated screens make selecting printer features
from the Macintosh computer easier than ever. Use the HP LaserJet
Utility to do the following:

customize the printer control panel messages

name the printer, assign it to a zone on the network, download
files and fonts, and change most of the printer settings

set a password for the printer

from the computer, lock out functions on the printer control panel
to prevent unauthorized access (see the printer software help)

configure and set the printer for IP printing

Note

The HP LaserJet Utility is not supported for the languages of Czech,
Korean, Japanese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
or Turkish.
