Install the Macintosh printer driver
This section explains how to install the printing system software for Macintosh OS X V10.2.8, V10.3.9
and V10.4.3.
NOTE
USB queues are created automatically when the printer is attached to the computer.
However, the queue will use a generic PPD if the installer has not been run before the USB cable
is connected. To change the queue PPD, open the Print Center or Printer Setup Utility, select
the correct printer queue, and then click Show Info to open the Printer Info dialog box. In the
pop-up menu, select Printer Model, and then, in the pop-up menu in which Generic is selected,
select the correct PPD for the printer.
Use the following procedure to install the Macintosh printer driver:
1.
Insert the printer CD into the CD-ROM drive and run the installer.
2.
Double-click the CD icon on the desktop
3.
Double-click the Installer icon.
4.
Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
5.
Print a test page or a page from any software program to make sure that the printer software is
correctly installed.
If installation fails, reinstall the software. If this fails, see the Late-Breaking Information section of the
Install Notes. The Install Notes are located on the printer CD or at the support Web site (see
How to
contact HP
for the Web address).
