Use Install.exe To Assign Mpps And Mpls; Using /Aml Switch To Point The Hp Upd To A Printer List Xml File - HP 2605dn Print Drivers System Administrator Manual

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.

Using /aml switch to point the HP UPD to a printer list xml file

You can use the install.exe /aml option to install custom MPLs on a user's machine. For
example, let's say you have created a custom MPL that points to all of the printers available in the
conference rooms of your business. You want each user who works at this site to be able to select
and print to any of these printers, but you don't want outsiders to see or use these printers.
After the installation is complete when the user selects the Search option in the Common Printing
Driver, they will see the "Conference Room Printers" entry in the search list.
You can add an unlimited number of /aml"Name",Url_Or_UNC command line switches to the
install.exe. (Run install.exe /? for a list of all install options.)
Use the following command line argument to point the HP UPD dynamic mode to display printer lists.
install /h /q /dm /aml\\networkpath\printerlist.xml /n"Printqueuename"
install /h /q /dm /aml"c:\path\printerlist1.xml" /aml"c:\path
\printerlist2.xml" /n"printqueue name"
The following examples show the necessary file format for using XML files. The first example shows
the format for HP Managed Print Policies and the second shows the format for HP Managed Printer
Lists. Also included are charts showing the items that are mandatory and optional.
