If the printer driver is already installed, the HP Printer Setup Assistant can be run at any time from the DVD.
Connect a computer to the printer by USB cable (Mac OS X)
You can connect your printer directly to a computer without going through a network, by using the printer's
built-in Hi-Speed USB device port.
Printer software installation
The following instructions apply if you intend to print from software applications using a printer driver. See
Printing on page 50 for alternative ways of printing.
1. Make sure the printer is either turned off, or disconnected from the computer.
2. Insert the HP Start-up Kit DVD into your DVD drive.
3. Open the DVD icon on your desktop.
4. When the Z5400 window appears on your screen, click Software and then Install.
5. Your Web browser opens to display the rest of the software installation procedure. You must select
Windows or Mac OS X software, and choose which specific software you want to install (by default, all of
it).
6. Make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to the computer with a certified USB cable.
NOTE: The use of non-certified USB cables can lead to connectivity problems. Only cables certified by
the USB Implementor's Forum (
http://www.usb.org/) should be used with this printer.
7. Shortly afterwards, a print queue is created automatically for your printer.
Sharing the printer
If your computer is connected to a network, you can make your directly connected printer available to other
computers on the same network.
1. Double-click the System Preferences icon on the Dock menu bar on your desktop.
2. To enable printer sharing, go Sharing, select Printer Sharing, and then check the printer(s) that you
want to share.
3. Your printer now automatically appears in the list of shared printers displayed by any other computer
running Mac OS X and connected to your local network.
Please bear in mind the following considerations.
●
Any other users wishing to share your printer must install the printer software on their own computers.
●
Anyone sharing your directly connected printer will be able to send print jobs, but will not be able to
receive information from the printer—which affects alerts, status reports, paper management,
administration and troubleshooting.
●
You may find that sharing your directly connected printer with other users will slow down your
computer unacceptably.
TIP: The best way to share the printer over a network is to connect the printer not to any computer, but to
the network. See
Connect a computer to the printer by network (Mac OS X) on page 16.
Uninstall the printer software (Mac OS X)
Open the downloaded software and click Uninstall.
