Package: cups
Version 1.4.4-7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
This wishlist bug is basically a repost of CUPS STR #3775 for the benefit
of Debian users, given the patch hasn't made it upstream due to copyright
assignment issues.
The attached patch adds a new BrowseLDAPFilter config option for LDAP
printer sharing on the client side.
This LDAP filter, if defined, is ANDed with the default
(objectClass=cupsPrinter) filter when searching for shared printers.
We have 2 CUPS servers sharing a few hundreds printers and we use this
filter to reduce the number of printers shown on the client side based on
keywords in the printerLocation attribute:
BrowseLDAPFilter (printerLocation=Site1*)
Without this, our users would see hundreds of printers in their print
panel, which would be downright unusable.
Note that for this filter to work, the schema must be altered to specify a
matching rule for substrings on printerLocation and a proper index must be
added (sub index on printerLocation).
Patch is against 1.4.4.
JB.

I think it could be wishful thinking to expect this enhancement request
to be fulfilled any time soon, especially as it was intended for a now
unsupported cups version. Should we carry this bug report in the BTS
indefinitely? I think not; hence closing. Sorry.

Brian.
