Installing Macintosh printing system software for direct connections (USB)
NOTE Macintosh computers do not support parallel port connections.
The Apple PostScript driver must be installed in order to use the PPD files. Use the Apple PostScript
driver that came with your Macintosh computer.
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. If the CD menu 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.
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. Complete the following steps to change the queue PPD.
5. Open the Print Center or Printer Setup Utility.
6. Select the correct printer queue, and then click Show Info to open the Printer Info dialog box.
7. 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.
8. Print a test 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 for help.
To remove software from Macintosh operating systems
To remove the software from a Macintosh computer, drag the PPD files to the trash can.
