Auto printer discovery
In the MPL printers screen, click Auto printer discovery to open the Add Automatically screen.
Use Auto printer discovery to create a new MPL or to add printers to an MPL. Three methods of auto printer
discovery are available.
●
Discover locally connected network printers
●
Discover printers on a print server (\\serverName)
●
Import printers from an XML file
After printers have been discovered by using each of these method, all fields can be modified manually, as
necessary. For more information, see
Manual printer entry and modifying printer attributes on page 121.
Discover locally connected network printers
Follow these steps to discover locally connected network printers and add them to an MPL.
1. In the MPL printers window, click Auto printer discovery. The Add automatically screen displays.
2. On the Discover locally connected network printers panel, click Discover.
During discovery, the HP MPA performs a local mDNS discovery on the local subnet. Printing products
that have the mDNS protocol enabled, and are on the same subnet as the HP MPA software, show up in
the printer list.
The Discovered printers screen displays, and locally connected printers discovered automatically
populate the Printer group box.
3. In the Printer group box, select the check box next to printers that you want to add to the MPL. (All
printers are selected by default.)
4. Modify the settings listed in
Table 8-26 Discovered printers screen options on page 118 as necessary.
