Use \fBlpset\fR to create and update printing configuration in \fB/etc/printers.conf\fR. See \fBnsswitch.conf\fR(5) and \fBprinters.conf\fR(5). .sp .LP Only a superuser or a member of Group 14 may execute \fBlpset\fR. .SH OPTIONS The following options are supported: .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB-n\fR \fBsystem\fR|\fBldap\fR\fR .ad .RS 26n Create or update the configuration information for the \fIdestination\fR entry in \fB/etc/printers.conf\fR or LDAP printer contexts. \fBsystem\fR specifies that the information is created or updated in \fB/etc/printers.conf\fR. \fBldap\fR specifies that the information is written to an LDAP server. .sp If \fB-n\fR is not specified, \fBsystem\fR is the default. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB-x\fR\fR .ad .RS 26n Remove all configuration for the \fIdestination\fR entry from the database specified by the \fB-n\fR option. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB-a\fR \fIkey\fR\fB=\fR\fIvalue\fR\fR .ad .RS 26n Configure the specified \fIkey\fR\fB=\fR\fIvalue\fR pair for the \fIdestination\fR. See \fBprinters.conf\fR(5) for information regarding the specification of \fIkey\fR\fB=\fR\fIvalue\fR pairs. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB-d\fR \fIkey\fR\fR .ad .RS 26n Delete the configuration option specified by \fIkey\fR for the \fIdestination\fR entry. See \fBprinters.conf\fR(5) for information regarding the specification of \fIkey\fR and \fIkey\fR\fB=\fR\fIvalue\fR pairs. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB-D\fR \fBbinddn\fR\fR .ad .RS 26n Use the distinguished name (DN) \fBbinddn\fR to bind to the LDAP directory server. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB-w\fR \fBpasswd\fR\fR .ad .RS 26n Use \fBpasswd\fR as the password for authentication to the LDAP directory server. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB-h\fR \fBldaphost\fR\fR .ad .RS 26n Specify an alternate host on which the LDAP server is running. This option is only used when \fBldap\fR is specified as the naming service. If this option is not specified, the default is the current host system. .RE .SH OPERANDS The following operand is supported: .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fIdestination\fR\fR .ad .RS 15n Specifies the entry in \fB/etc/printers.conf\fR or LDAP, in which to create or modify information. \fIdestination\fR names a printer of class of printers. See \fBlpadmin\fR(8). Each entry in \fBprinters.conf\fR describes one destination. Specify \fIdestination\fR using atomic names. POSIX-style destination names are not acceptable. See \fBprinters.conf\fR(5) for information regarding the naming conventions for atomic names and \fBstandards\fR(7) for information regarding POSIX. .RE .SH EXAMPLES \fBExample 1 \fRRemoving All Existing Printing Configuration Information .sp .LP The following example removes all existing printing configuration information for destination \fBdogs\fR from \fB/etc/printers.conf\fR: .sp .in +2 .nf example% \fBlpset -x dogs\fR .fi .in -2 .sp .LP \fBExample 2 \fRSetting a \fBkey=value\fR Pair in LDAP .sp .in +2 .nf example% \fBlpset -n ldap -h ldapl.example.com -D "cn=Directory Manager" \e -w passwd -a key1=value1 printer1\fR .fi .in -2 .sp .SH EXIT STATUS The following exit values are returned: .sp .ne 2 .na \fB\fB0\fR\fR .ad .RS 12n Successful completion. .RE .sp .ne 2 .na \fBnon-zero\fR .ad .RS 12n An error occurred. .RE .SH FILES .ne 2 .na \fB\fB/etc/printers.conf\fR\fR .ad .RS 26n System configuration database. .RE .SH ATTRIBUTES See \fBattributes\fR(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .sp .TS box; c | c l | l .

Because the domain information for the printer being updated is extracted from the \fBldapclient\fR(8) configuration, the LDAP server being updated must host the same domain that is used by the current \fBldapclient\fR(8) server. .RE .RS +4 .TP 2. If the LDAP server being updated is a replica LDAP server, the updates will be referred to the master LDAP server and completed there. The updates might be out of sync and not appear immediately, as the replica server may not have been updated by the master server. For example, a printer that you deleted by using \fBlpset\fR may still appear in the printer list you display with \fBlpget\fR until the replica is updated from the master. Replica servers vary as to how often they are updated from the master. See \fISystem Administration Guide: Solaris Printing\fR for information on LDAP server replication. .RE .RS +4 .TP 3. Although users can use the LDAP command line utilities \fBldapadd\fR(1) and \fBldapmodify\fR(1) to update printer entries in the directory, the preferred method is to use \fBlpset\fR. Otherwise, if the \fBldapadd\fR and \fBldapmodify\fR utilities are used, the administrator must ensure that the \fBprinter-name\fR attribute value is unique within the \fBou=printers\fR container on the LDAP server. If the value is not unique, the result of modifications done using \fBlpset\fR or the Solaris Print Manager, \fBprintmgr\fR(8) may be unpredictable. .RE
