Add printers to OD

Question

I tried to follow the documentation of the Print Service Admin to put a printer into OD. I can add a printer record in Workgroup Manager but then there is a step to add an attribute and choosing e.g. "PrinterLPRHost" from a list. Unfortunately that list is empty and typing manually "PrinterLPRHost" into the text field next to it gives me an error when saving the record.
Is it a bug or just me having that empty list? What am I supposed to use as attribute name for "PrinterLPRHost", "PrinterLPRQueue" and "Printer Type"?

Answer 1

I generally follow the instructions found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c1ps5.html
It seems as you have done that.
However, you should not need to type PrinterLPRHost yourself. I believe that field is prefilled in.
There is a little pulldown menu in the "new attribute" window, that says <native> you can change that to PrinterLPRHost and then just type in the host. Then you move on to the other attributes.
For PrinterLPRHost I type in either the IP address of the server that hosts the print service, or its FQDN. (printserver.myagency.org)
For PrinterLPRQueue I type in the name of the Queue associated with that printer's IP. (AccountingXerox4500DT)
And for the Printer Type, I type in the name of the printer exactly as shown in my printer setup utility. (Xerox Phaser 4500DT)
(Of course, I don't type parentheses.)
Hope that helps.
