Macintosh Installation
1. Run the install program by placing the compact disc in the 
CD-ROM drive. The installation window will appear on the 
desktop. Select the correct language and double-click the 
installer icon.
Note Virus protection must be turned off prior to starting the installation 
program.
The compact disc contains software for many international locales. 
Once you select the installation language and double-click Install in the 
desired language, the installation screen will appear in that language.
2. Select installation type. The installer provides two options 
for software installation.
• Typical (recommended method): This option loads the PPD, 
screen fonts, and a utility that controls all printing aspects.
• Custom (for experienced users and network administrators): 
This option allows you to choose which components will be 
installed. The installation program will prompt you to select the 
software items you wish to install.
3. Register your printer with HP.
If you have access to the World Wide Web, please take a moment to 
complete the registration for your HP LaserJet 2100 at the following 
website:
http://www.hp.com/go/lj2100_register
This will help Hewlett-Packard better provide support for your printer. 
After registering, you will have the option to receive valuable business 
tools. Hewlett-Packard will not contact you or send you information 
unless you explicitly approve it during the registration process. You 
may also register with the reply card included with your printer.
Note The Apple LaserWriter 8 driver must be installed to use the PPD. To 
make best use of the features of the printer, use the version of the 
LaserWriter driver included on the CD.
