LDAP-UX Client Services B.05.01 Administrator Guide for HP directory servers and Windows ADS

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.
