LDAP-UX Client Services B.04.10 with Microsoft Windows Active Directory Server Administrator's Guide

Using the Existing Printer Attributes
You can use the existing printer attributes provided by Windows ADS schema to define alternate
printer attributes which can be remapped to printer-name and printer-uri respectively.
For example, the existing printer attributes, printerbinname and printer-color, are defined
and mapped to printer-name and printer-uri respectively as shown in Table 5–2.
Table 5-2 Attribute Mappings
Alternate Printer AttributeDefault Printer Attribute
printerbinnameprinter-name
printer-colorprinter-uri
The printerbinname attribute provides local printer name information and the
printer-color attribute specifies the remote host name and remote printer name. The following
shows examples of the printerbinname and printer-color attribute values:
printerbinname : laser5
printer-color: lpd://hostA.hp.com/lj2006
Printer Attribute Mappings
To enable the LDAP printer configurator support, you must run the setup program to perform
the attribute mappings and search filter changes. The tasks include the following::
• Remap the default group attributes, printer-name and printer-uri to the alternate
printer attributes respectively. The attribute mappings are done in step 23 of “Step1: Run
the Setup Program” in the “Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services” section. For detailed
information on how to remap printer attributes, see “Step 1: Run the Setup Program”
(page 36) in the “Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services” section.
• Change the default search filter, printerlpr, for the printer services to the alternate search
filter. LDAP-UX Client Services uses the printerlpr object class for the printer service as
a default search filter. You need to change default printerlpr object class to the alternate
object class. The search filter change can be done in step 24 of “Step1: Run the Setup Program”
in the “Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services” section.
For detailed information on how to change the search filter for the printer service to search
a different location in the LDAP directory server, see “Step 1: Run the Setup Program”
(page 36) in the “Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services” section.
