[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#618793: cups: [PATCH] Add LDAP browse filter for LDAP printer sharing

[Julien-externe BLACHE]

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.
