Adding Printer Information to a Naming Service
Adding printer information to a naming service makes access to printers available to all systems on the network. Doing so makes printer administration easier because all of the information about printers is centralized.
|
Naming Service Configuration |
Actions to Centralize Printer Information |
|---|---|
|
Use a naming service |
Adding the printer to the LDAP, NIS, or NIS+ database makes the printer available to all systems on the network. |
|
Do not use a naming service |
Adding the printer adds the printer information to the printer server's configuration files only. Print clients will not automatically know about the printer. You will have to add the printer information to every print client that needs to use the printer. |
