Installing the Macintosh printing system
On a Macintosh-compatible 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 product by a LocalTalk (Printer Port) or EtherTalk connection, the
AppleTalk (or Network) control panel must be configured for the correct connection to communicate
with the product.
The HP LaserJet product must be set up, connected to the computer, and turned on before the software
is installed.
Macintosh OS systems do not support parallel connections. You must use a USB connection for a
direct connection to a computer running Macintosh OS.
In the following instructions, “XXXX” represents the HP LaserJet product model number.
The Macintosh partition contains an installer program for each language. Find the
language appropriate for the operating system being used, and use the installer program
for that language.
