Table 8-40 MPL XML Tag Descriptions (continued)
XML Tag Name Required Description
<IPAddress>
<UNCPath>
<Hostname>
<IPXSPXAddress>
Yes (Use one tag.) One of these XML tags may be used to define the type
of connection and the printer address. If you want
users to connect to this printer using an IP Address,
then use the <IPAddress> element. If you want the
users to connect to the printer using a network print
share or queue use the <UNCPath> element. The last
option is to use the hostname assigned to the device
by using the <Hostname> element.
Examples of an IP Address tag are:
<IPAddress>115.22.112.151</IPAddress>
<IPAddress>192.168.1.201</IPAddress>
The IP Address of a device can be retrieved from the
configuration page.
Examples of the UNC path tag includes any Windows
printer share (also known as a Network print queue),
non-Windows print queues (such as a PSA or Novell
print queue) and have the form:
<UNCPath>\\serverName\printerName</
UNCPath>
<UNCPath>\
\NovellTree1\Context1\Context2\OU3.hplj5
500 </UNCPath>
<UNCPath>\\LabTree
\Bldg7.SEMeetingRoom.Printers.hp4100 </
UNCPath>
Examples of the Hostname tag are:
<Hostname>NPIBB99EE</Hostname>
<Hostname>testlab.hou.com</Hostname>
The device hostname can be retrieved from the
configuration page.
Examples of a valid IPX/SPX address includes the
“NetworkNumber.NodeNumber” format. You can print
a configuration page on the printer to see if it supports
the IPX/SPX protocol and to determine its address. To
use an IPX/SPX, you must have the IPX/SPX client
networking software installed on the computer.
Some examples of a valid IPX/SPX address are:
<IPXSPX>006240.00IEBB9BEB</IPXSPX>
<IPXSPX>6420.AB168BEA</IPXSPX>
