LDAP Printer Configurator
LDAP-UX Client
4.3 Printer configuration parameters
The LDAP-UX Client Services provides four printer configuration parameters, start,
search_interval, max_printers and lpadmin_option available for you to customize
and control the behaviors of the printer configurator. These parameters are defined in the
ldapclientd.conf file. See Section 6.1.4 (page 85) for details.
4.4 Printer schema and attributes
The Windows 2003 R2 or 2008 Active Directory Server (ADS) contains the built-in printer schema.
The printer schema is used to create the printer objects that are relevant to the printer configurator
services. The attributes of this schema are not the same ones supported by the LDAP-UX printer
configurator and defined in RFC 3712 . This section describes how to use the Windows ADS
built-in schema to manage the networked printers.
4.4.1 Printer attributes
With the printer schema in the Windows Active Directory Server, you are able to create printer
objects for the LP printer configuration. The minimum information for a printer object entry is the
