Installing the Macintosh printing system
On a Macintosh computer, the installation procedures are the same for a network administrator, a
network client, and a single user. Install the software on any computer that has access rights to the
printer.
NOTE If the computer is connected to the printer by a LocalTalk (printer port) or EtherTalk
connection, you must configure the AppleTalk (or network) control panel for the correct
connection to communicate with the product. You must set up the HP Color LaserJet 3600,
connect it to the computer or network, and turn it on before the software is installed. Macintosh
operating systems do not support parallel connections.
The Macintosh partition contains an installer program for each language. Find the appropriate language
for the operating system that is being used, and then use the installer program for that language.
NOTE Detailed installation steps can be found in Mac OS X installation.
Installing the HP LaserJet printing-system software for the
Macintosh OS
1. Insert the Macintosh printing-system software CD into the CD-ROM drive.
NOTE If the CD screen does not open automatically, double-click the hp color LaserJet
3600 CD-ROM icon on the desktop to open the CD-ROM window.
2. Double-click the Mac OS X icon.
NOTE The Continue button appears only after you type the "admin" password in the
Authenticate dialog box (Mac OS X, V10.1.5 and later only).
3. The main Installer dialog box appears. Click Install and then follow the onscreen instructions to
complete the software installation.
NOTE If you are installing the printing-system software on a Macintosh OS X system,
please be patient. The installer must perform an initial search of the computer for up to 1
minute. During this time the installer might appear to be stalled.
4. When software installation is complete, click Quit. Select Set up a printer with Mac OS X to finish
setting up your product:
The software program that you use to finish setting up the printer varies by operating system. The
following table shows the print setup tools that are available.
