LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.00 with Microsoft Windows Active Directory Server Administrator's Guide (obsolete beyond B.05.00)

dn: printer-name=laser2,ou=printers,dc=hp,dc=com
printerbyname: laser2
printer-resource: lpd://hostC.hp.com/lj2004
printer-model: Hewlett Packard laserjet Model 2004N
printer-service-person: David Lott
The current remote LP laser2 printer configuration is removed from the client system, and the new
laser2 printer configuration with new remote host name information is added to the client system.
In fact, if either remote host name or remote printer name of printer-resource attribute is
modified, the printer configurator will remove the current remote LP printer configuration and create
the new printer configuration with the updated resource information.
Example 4:
The remote LP printer, laser2, no longer supports LPD printing protocol. IPP printing protocol is
implemented instead. The administrator updated the printer object by changing the printing protocol
to IPP. The following shows the updated printer objects in the directory server:
dn: printer-name=laser2,ou=printers,dc=hp,dc=com
printerbyname: laser2
printer-resource: ipp://hostC.hp.com/lj2004
printer-location: Engineering Lab
printer-model: Hewlett Packard laserjet Model 2004N
printer-service-person: David Lott
IPP printing protocol is not supported by the LP spool printing system. The only action that the LDAP
printer configurator will take is to remove the current laser2 printer configuration on the client
system.
Example 5:
The administrator created a new printer object in the directory server as below:
dn: printer-name=laser8,ou=printers,dc=hp,dc=com
printerbyname: laser8
printer-resource: lpd://hostD.hp.com/lj81003
In this example, the printer configurator adds a new remote LP laser8 printer configuration to
the client system.
However, if the user attempts to remove the laser8 printer configuration manually, the printer
configuration will no longer be managed by the printer configurator. The user has to recreate the
printer configuration manually in case the laser8 printer is needed. The printer configurator does
not try to create the printer configuration even though the printer object of laser8 still exists in
the directory server.
If the user manually adds a remote LP printer configuration to the client system, the new printer
configuration will not be managed by the printer configurator. The user has to remove the printer
configuration manually if the remote LP printer is no longer needed.
4.6 Limitations of printer configurator
• LDAP-UX Client Services only suports the HP-UX LP spooler system, network printers, and
printerservers that support Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol. The printer configurator does
not support local printers.
• In a global management envoriment, it is hard to determine a default printer for the individual
client system. The LDAP printer configurator treats every printer entry as the regular printer.
The administrator or user requires to manually select a printer as a default printer for the client
system.
NOTE: The LDAP Printer Configurator will only add or remove printers that it has discovered in
the directory server according to the search filter that defined for the printer services.
