Using MPP and MPL xml files directly to manage HP UPD
As stated earlier, Managed Print Policies (MPP) or Managed Printer Lists (MPL) that are automatically generated by
HP Managed Print Administrator are XML documents that control the driver operation mode in a particular printing
environment. These XML documents can be used directly, without the use of HP MPA, to control the HP UPD
behavior.
The XML files can be created or copied locally on each user’s PC, or shared from a central location on the network
allowing for more centralized management of the xml content. In either option, when using xml files directly, HP
Managed Print Administrator software is not required.
NOTE: The XML used for an MPP or MPL uses specific formatting and commands supported by HP MPA.
Associating the HP UPD with the HP MPA Server
By default, the HP UPD assumes that the HP MPA is installed on a server named managed-print. As a result, the HP
UPD searches the network for http://managed-print for Managed Print Policies or Managed Printer Lists. If you
install the HP MPA on a computer with a name other than managed-print, you must change the HP UPD default
settings. To change the HP UPD default settings, install the HP UPD by using the following switch options.
Install /policy”<computername>” or Install /policy”<IPaddress>” where the computer name or IP
address represents the name of the computer with HP MPA installed.
For example, to force the HP UPD to use the HP MPA on a server named mgmt-srvr, the complete command line
switch for the install would be as follows:
Install /policy”mgmt-srvr” /sm192.168.1.10 /n”print queue name” /h /q
Use install.exe to assign MPPs and MPLs
To setup HP UPD to enable policy management or printer list management via xml files, two install.exe command line
switches are used. The /policy switch is used for managing HP UPD policies, while the /aml switch is used to provide
any number of printer lists to a user.
The xml file can be local on the client PC, or on a shared network resource. Here are two examples of how to use the
/policy argument in a command line install for HP UPD:
install /h /q /policy”\\networkshare\filename.xml” /sm10.10.10.10 /n”printqueuename”
install /h /q /policy”c:\policyfile.xml” /dm /n”printershare”
The Policy file can be used to manage both traditional mode and dynamic mode instances of the HP UPD.
NOTE: The use of spaces, quotes and commas must be exact. If an extra space, comma, or quote is added or left
out, the command string is ignored.
