NOTE: The system administrator manually adds or removes printers to the HP-UX system.
The LDAP Printer Configurator will only add or remove printers that it has discovered in the
LDAP directory according to the search filter defined for the printer.

LDAP-UX Client
3.3 Printer configuration parameters
The LDAP-UX Client Services provides four printer configuration parameters, start,
search_interval , max_printers and lpadmin_optionavailable for you to customize
and control the behaviors of the printer configurator. These parameters are defined in the
ldapclientd.conf file. For detailed information on these new parameters, see “Administering
LDAP-UX Client Services” (page 129).
3.4 Printer schema
The new printer schema, RFC 3712, is used to create the printer objects that are relevant to the
printer configurator services. The draft printer schema can be obtained from the IETF website:
