LDAP Printer Configurator Support

Managing the LP printer configuration

The administrator created a new printer object in the directory server as below:

dn: printer-name=laser8,ou=printers,dc=hp,dc=com

printer-name: laser8

printer-uri: 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.
