HP Utility
PPD
A postscript printer description (PPD) file is a text file that contains keywords and other information to
specify printer features, options, and settings. PPD files are created by printer vendors for a specific
postscript printer or printer family. PPD files are created by printer vendors to describe the set of printer
features available for their postscript printers. On the Mac, PPD files provide all the information
necessary to describe a postscript printer’s features, including options and default settings. They also
contain the postscript code used to invoke those features.
PDE
A Print Dialog extension file can specify one or more PDEs to load in the Print dialog box to provide
HP printer specific features. A printing dialog extension (PDE) is a way to extend the Print dialog box in
Mac OS X with custom printer features.
A PPD file and printing dialog extension (PDE) for a printer are bound to a printer queue when the
queue is created.
HP USB EWS Gateway
For network-connected printers, the EWS can be accessed directly by typing the network IP address or
DNS name of the product into the Web browser. HP USB EWS Gateway software, which is
automatically installed, allows a Web browser to access the product’s EWS if the product is connected
using a USB cable. Click the Utility button when using a USB connection to access the EWS though
the Web browser.
HP Utility for Mac
The HP Utility is a software program that gives you access to the product in Mac OS X.
The HP Utility does not work when it is installed by using the AppleTalk protocol. Use IP, Bonjour, or
Rendezvous to enable the HP Utility.
Click the HP Support button to go to the HP Online Support Web site for more help on any of
