HP LaserJet 4250/4350 Series - Software Technical Reference
Macintosh and Macintosh-compatible printing system
The HP LaserJet 4250/4350 printing system for Macintosh is composed of the Print Center for OS X
and the Apple LaserWriter driver for OS 9, which are provided with the operating system, and HP-
created PPD files. The driver uses these files to determine the features and postscript commands
that the product supports. Bidirectional support in AppleTalk connections supports software
autoconfiguration. The following are installable components:
■ The HP Color LaserJet Installer for Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X
■ The HP Color LaserJet Screen Fonts Installer
■ SYSTEM/EXTENSIONS/PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS (for Mac OS 9)
■ LIBRARY/PRINTERS/PPDS/CONTENTS/RESOURCES/LANGUAGE.LPROJ (for Mac OS X)
■ Online Help, an HTML-based printer and utility help that can be viewed through a browser or in
the Macintosh OS Help Center (in English only)
■ Install notes
NOTE The HP LaserJet Utility is a standalone utility that is not installed by the installer, but
is available on the HP LaserJet 4250/4350 printer software CD. It is an HP utility that is
installed in the HP LaserJet folder of Mac OS 9 and provides configuration and management
support for postscript. It can be found on the CD in a directory called “hp OS 9 LaserJet
Utility.”
