Macintosh component descriptions
The product includes the following software for Macintosh computers:
●
PPDs for Mac OS X V10.1.5 and later
●
PDEs for Mac OS X only (V10.1.5 and later)
HP LaserJet PPDs
In Mac OS X V10.1.5 or later, postscript printer definition (PPD) files for the HP Color LaserJet 3600
are installed in Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources:<lang>.lproj, where <lang> is the
appropriate localized folder.
PPDs, in combination with the driver, provide access to the product features and allow the computer to
communicate with the product. A print setup tool for the PPDs is provided on the printing-system
software CD. For information about the print setup tools in various Macintosh operating systems, see
Table 6-1 Adding a printer in Macintosh operating systems.
PDEs
Printer Dialog Extensions (PDEs) are code plug-ins (for Mac OS X V10.1.5 or later only) that provide
access to product features, such as number of copies, duplexing, and quality settings.
HP Embedded Web Server
Use the HP LaserJet Utility to control features that are not available in the driver. Use the HP EWS to
perform the following tasks:
●
Name the product, assign it to a zone on the network, and change product settings.
●
Set a password for the product.
●
From the computer, lock out functions on the control panel to prevent unauthorized access (see
the printing software help).

Online help
This HTML-based help system replaces the Apple Guide help system that was provided with
Mac OS 9.x HP products. The help system is in English only, and can be viewed through a browser or
in the Macintosh OS Help Center.
Screen fonts
The printing-system software for Macintosh operating systems no longer includes a font installer. The
HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer uses previously installed system fonts when installed on a Macintosh
computer.
