HP Color LaserJet 4650 series printer - User Guide

This section explains how to install the printing system software for Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2.x and
Mac OS X and later.
The Apple LaserWriter driver must be installed to use the PPD files. Use the Apple
LaserWriter 8 driver that came with your Macintosh computer.
To install the printing system software
1. Connect a USB cable between the USB port on the printer and the USB port on the
computer. Use a standard 2-meter USB cable.
2. Close all software programs that are open or running.
3. Insert the printer CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and run the installer.
The CD-ROM menu runs automatically. If the CD-ROM menu does not run
automatically, double-click the CD-ROM icon on the desktop, and then double-click the
Installer icon. This icon is located in the Installer/<language> folder of the Starter CD-
ROM (where <language> is your language preference).
4. Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
5. Restart the computer.
6. For Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2.x:
● From HD/Applications/Utilities, open the Apple Desktop Printer Utility.
● Double-click Printer (USB).
● Next to USB Printer Selection, click Change.
● Select the printer, click Auto Setup, and then click Create.
● Click on the Desktop Printer Icon that was just created.
● On the Printing menu, click Set Default Printer.
For Mac OS X: From HD/Applications/Utilities/Print Center, start the Print Center. If the
printer does not set up automatically, do the following:
● Click Add Printer.
● From within the printer list, select USB as the connection type.
● Select the printer and then click Add in the lower-left corner.
7. Print a Test Page or a 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 readme
files on the printer CD-ROM or the flyer that came in the printer box, or go to
http://www.hp.com/support/lj4650 for help or more information.
Note
The icon on the desktop will appear to be generic. All the print panels will appear in the print
dialog in an application.
Installing the software after the parallel or USB cable has been connected
If you have already connected a parallel or USB cable to a Windows computer, the New
Hardware Found dialog box appears when you turn on the computer.
