   Import Printers

   This feature lets you import a list of printer IP addresses for polling without network discovery.

   Before you begin, create a text file that contains a list of printer IP addresses. If you are using SNMP profiles other than the default, then add a space after the IP address, and then type the name of the profile.

   Notes:

   • The profile name is case sensitive.
   • Type each string on a separate line. Do not use comma-separated values.
   • Make sure that the string has no spaces before and after it.
   • You can import only up to 5000 strings at a time.

   1. Click Import Printers.

   2. Browse to the file, and then, if necessary, select the option to replace previously imported printers.

   3. Click Submit.
