Parse HP's XML Printer Accounting File

Question

Hi everyone

While its not so busy at work during the festive period, i've decided to build a application to parse our HP plotters xml accounting file. The file is sent to my mail on a daily basis, with all the statistics of the previous day's print in. I've looked at basic XML Parsers all over the net, and all works, but the format of this HP file is a tad diffrent than your "normal" xml file, so I'm having difficulties parsing it.

Please assist.

My code and my method so far:

xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AccountingInfo version="1.2">
<Current_Printer_Configuration>
<Product_Number>Q1276A</Product_Number>
<Serial_Number>DK725JW</Serial_Number>
<Product_Name>HP Designjet 4500mfp</Product_Name>
<FW_Version>GW_10.1.1.4</FW_Version>
</Current_Printer_Configuration>
