Adding Printers

To add printer entries to the LDAP directory, use either the printmgr configuration tool or the lpset -n ldap command-line utility. See lpset(1M). Note that the printer objects added to the directory only define the connection parameter, required by print system clients, of printers. Local print server configuration data is still held in files. A typical printer entry would look like the following:

printer-uri=myprinter,ou=printers,dc=mkg,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass=top
objectclass=printerService
objectclass=printerAbstract
objectclass=sunPrinter
printer-name=myprinter
sun-printer-bsdaddr=printsvr.example.com,myprinter,Solaris
sun-printer-kvp=description=HP LaserJet (PS)
printer-uri=myprinter
