Printing-system software

The product includes the following software for Macintosh computers:
PDEs for Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6 only. Mac OS X v10.7 drivers are available for download
●
from Apple Software Update. The installer CD does not support OS X v10.7

PDEs

Printer Dialog Extensions (PDEs) are code plug-ins that provide access to product features, such as
number of copies, duplexing, and quality settings. The PDEs are HP additions to Apple's print driver.

HP Embedded Web Server

Mac OS X v10.4 and later support the HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS). Use the HP LaserJet
Utility to control features that are not available in the driver. Use the HP EWS to perform the following
tasks:
Name the product and assign it to a zone on the AppleTalk network.
●
Change product settings.
●
Set a password for the product.
●
From the computer, lock out functions on the control panel to prevent unauthorized access (see the
●
printing-software help).

Online help

This HTML-based help system replaces the Apple Guide help system that was provided with
Mac OS 9.x HP products. The help system is in English only, and can be viewed through a browser or
in the Macintosh OS Help Center.

Screen fonts

The printing-system software for Macintosh operating systems no longer includes a font installer. The HP
LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 product uses previously installed system fonts when it is installed on
a Macintosh computer.
