LDAP Printer Configurator Support

Managing the LP printer configuration

Since the local printer name, remote hostname, remote printer name, and the printing protocol information are still the same, the LDAP Printer Configurator will not change the current remote LP printer configuration for laser2.

Example 3:

The system hostA.hp.com is retired. The Laserjet 2004 printer is now connected to system hostC and set up as a local LP printer lj2004. The administrator should update the printer object by changing the value in printer-uriattribute. The following shows the updated information of print objects:

dn: printer-name=laser2,ou=printers,dc=hp,dc=com

printer-name: laser2

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 hostname information is added to the client system. In fact, if either remote hostname or remote printer name of printer-uriattribute 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

printer-name: laser2

printer-uri: 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.
