Import printers from an XML file
Administrators can use this method to add static printer information from an XML file. For example, an XML
file from a previous MPL or an HP Web Jetadminfile. When the XML file is imported the data remains the
same; only its format is converted when added to the MPL.
Follow these steps to add static printer information from an XML file.
1. On the MPL printers screen, click Auto printer discovery. The Add automatically screen displays.
2. In the Import printers from XML file panel, you must provide the URL of the XML file or UNC path to
continue. In the XML URL or UNC field, enter the Internet address that corresponds to the location of the
XML file on a Web server or the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) that corresponds to the location of
the XML file on a local-area network.
3. Click Next. The Discovered printers screen displays. The printers discovered from the imported
information automatically populate the Printers panel group box.
4. In the Printer group box, select the check box next to the printers that you want to add to the MPL. (All
printers are selected by default.)
5. Modify the settings listed in
Table 8-28 Discovered printers screen options on page 120 as necessary.
