The Create Printers From CSV script was designed to allow administrators to be able to create iPrint printers quickly by using a CSV file instead of iManager.

Step #1 - Install and download the latest version of the Create Printers From CSV script utility.

1. Download create-printers-from-csv-1.0.tgz
2. Open a Terminal window and type “su”.

• Enter root’s password.
• Extract the script from the tarball.
  
  #tar –xzvf create-printers-from-csv-1.0.tgz
• cd to the Printer-Import folder.
  
  #cd Printer-Import
• Make the script executable.
  
  #chmod 755 Create-Printers-From-CSV-1.0.sh

Step #2 - Create a CSV file with your favorite spreadsheet application.

1. Open up the Printer-Import.csv file.

• Add printers to the file as shown in the example CSV file.
  
  The Columns must be in the following order:
• Printer Name
• DNS or IP of Printer
• The container of where the printer should be created
• The location of the printer
• The description of the printer
• Save the file as .csv (comma-delimited).
• Copy the saved CSV file to the same location of the Create-Printers-From-CSV-1.0.sh script (should still be found in the Printer-Import folder on the server).

Step #3 - Run the Create Printers From CSV Script utility.

1. On the terminal run the Create-Printers-From-CSV-1.0.sh script to start the import process
   
   #./Create-Printers-From-CSV-1.0.sh

• When the script is executed it will ask the remaining questions to make the import is successful.
