Macintosh utility and application support
The HP Installer provides PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files, Printer Dialog Extensions (PDEs),
and the Macintosh Configure Device for use with Macintosh computers.
If both the MFP and the Macintosh computer are connected to a network, use the MFP embedded Web
server (EWS) to configure the MFP. For more information, see
HP Device Configuration (Mac OS
X V10.3 and Mac OS X V10.4) and Use the embedded Web server.

Install PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files
The PPDs, in combination with the Apple PostScript printer drivers, provide access to MFP
features. An installation program for the PPDs and other software is provided on the compact disc
(CD) that came with the MFP. Use the Apple PostScript printer driver that comes with the computer.
●
HP Device Configuration
The Macintosh Configure Device provides access to features that are not available in the printer
driver. These are examples of things that can be done using the Macintosh Configure Device:
●
Name the printer.
●
Assign an internet protocol (IP) address to the MFP.
●
Configure and set the MFP for network printing.
Use the Macintosh Configure Device when the MFP uses a universal serial bus (USB) or is
connected to a TCP/IP-based network.
For more information about using the Macintosh Configure Device, see
HP Device Configuration
(Mac OS X V10.3 and Mac OS X V10.4).
