How to bulk import printers - c06384668

To bulk import printers to the PrinterOn server follow the steps below.

The idea with this bulk import is that you create a single print queue, and use that as the "template". It means you don't need to define every single value in the CSV - if the template printer is already set to what you want, it will use that value if the CSV cell is left blank. Eg. The address and GPS for all printers would be the same - you would create your template printer and then in the CSV file, you can leave cells G, H, I, J, K, L, M and N blank. When you load the file, the printer will be created and all the values from the template printer will be used for any settings that were not specified. It's a more efficient way to do things when there are shared settings, rather than fill in every item for every printer.
