HP Utility (OS X)
HP Utility contains tools to configure print settings, calibrate the printer, order supplies online, and find
website support information.
NOTE: The features available in HP Utility vary depending on the selected printer.
Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive
a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid possible
printing delays. You do not need to replace cartridges until the print quality becomes unacceptable.
Double-click HP Utility in the Hewlett-Packard folder in the Applications folder at the top level of the
hard disk.
Embedded web server
When the printer is connected to a network, you can use the printer's embedded web server (EWS) to
view status information, change settings, and manage it from your computer.
