Marketing Resources software is a suite of tools that can help you produce professional-quality marketing material by using your own HP Color LaserJet product. Often, producing marketing material "in house" is faster and less expensive than sending the job to an external print-service provider.
Using these tools offers the following advantages:
Saves time – You control the schedule. You no longer need to drive to the print shop and wait for the job to be ready.
Saves money – By using your own HP product, you can avoid the setup charges that print shops often include. You are in complete control over the document, and you can decide which options to use.
This software supports Mac OS X v10.3.x, v10.4.x and v10.5.x

This download package contains HP LaserJet Mac OS X Installer Print Only Software Solution v7.8.0.761. Included are the HP Postscript PPD and PDE files for Mac OS X v10.2, v10.3.x, v10.4.x, v10.5 - PPC and Intel processor.
