Use HP Managed Printer Lists (MPLs)

Use the HP MPA software to create HP Managed Printer Lists (MPLs), add printers to existing MPLs,
and establish associations with MPPs and User Groups.
The MPLs provide a simple method for users to find and use HP printing products. The MPL defines
groupings of printers based on various attributes and also controls features at both the group and
individual printer levels.
Administrators can use the HP MPA software to customize HTML views of MPLs to assist users in
locating available printers in their own environments.
Use the HP MPA tool to create, edit, and manage the content available to the HP UPD without having
to worry about the XML syntax and contents for each document type. HP MPA stores policy and
printer settings in a database running on a centrally managed server. When the HP UPD queries for
the MPP or MPL content, scripts convert the stored database settings into the correctly formatted
XML content consumed by the HP UPD. Use the HP MPA tool to manage the MPP and MPL settings
and to manage the associations between them.
What is an MPL?
MPLs are XML documents that provide the information required for print jobs to use printing products.
These centrally managed XML documents contain the printer details in an easy-to-read and modify
text file format. To assist users in finding supported printers for printing with the HP UPD for
Windows, the administrator defines printer details in the XML files. HP UPD MPLs provide
administrators with the ability to specify the products that users can use for printing.
MPLs create a reliable and seamless way of discovering and connecting to products in the office or to
public printing venues.
MPLs allow users to select a printer with a descriptive name from a predefined list. Users do not need
to know about network print shares, TCP/IP addresses, printer host names, user access permissions,
or other printer connection details. Instead, users select a printer from the list dialog box and print.
