HP LaserJet P3010 Series 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 Printer Utility
Use the HP Printer Utility to configure, administer, and set up product features that are not available
from the printer driver. You can use the HP Printer Utility with HP printers connected via USB, ethernet,
and wireless networks.
Supported printer drivers for Macintosh
The HP installer provides Postscript Printer Description (PPD) files, Printer Dialog Extensions (PDEs),
and the HP Printer Utility for use with Macintosh computers.
The PPDs, in combination with the Apple postscript printer drivers, provide access to device features.
Use the Apple postscript printer driver that comes with the computer.
Priority for print settings for Macintosh
Changes to print settings are prioritized depending on where the changes are made:
NOTE: The names of commands and dialog boxes might vary depending on your software program.
Page Setup dialog box: Click Page Setup or a similar command on the File menu of the program
you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed here might override settings changed
anywhere else.
Print dialog box: Click Print, Print Setup, or a similar command on the File menu of the program
you are working in to open this dialog box. Settings changed in the Print dialog box have a lower
priority and do not override changes made in the Page Setup dialog box.
Default printer driver settings: The default printer driver settings determine the settings used in
all print jobs, unless settings are changed in the Page Setup, Print, or Printer Properties dialog
boxes.
Printer control-panel settings: Settings changed at the printer control panel have a lower priority
than changes made anywhere else.
