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 8-22 Discovered printers screen options on page 121 as
necessary.
