UCS 2.4 - Univention

Disconnect Time
4.5 Univention Directory Manager modules
This input field is used to specify after what period of inactivity the connection to the Samba share
should be teared down. This can be set in seconds, minutes, hours or days.
4.5.7 Printer management
Printer shares can be added, searched, edited and removed in printer management. When a printer share
is added, the printer is automatically set up in CUPS. All printers set up in CUPS are automatically provided
for Windows computers via Samba. When a printer share is removed, the printer is also automatically
removed from the CUPS configuration and, when appropriate, from the Samba configuration.
Attention:
Network printers with their own network interface should be entered as an IP managed client in computer
management.
In addition, printer groups can be defined, the members of which are used in rotation to process print jobs,
which distributes the loads automatically amongst printers set up near to each other. Printer groups are
described as a part of the whole UCS print system in Chapter 13.3.4.
Print Quota settings can be applied/inherited to the printer management using a policy (see Chapter
4.5.11):
4.5.7.1 Printers
’General’ tab
Name (*)
This input field contains the name of the printer share, which is used by CUPS. The printer appears
under this name in Linux and Windows. The name may contain alphanumeric characters (i.e., upper-
case and lowercase letters a to z and numbers 0 to 9) as well as hyphens and underscores. Other
characters (including blank spaces) are not permitted.
Spool host (*)
A print server (spooler) manages the printer queue for the printers to be shared. It converts the data
to be printed into a compatible print format when this is necessary. If the printer is not ready, the print
server saves the print jobs temporarily and forwards them on to the printer subsequently. If more than
one print server is specified, the print job from the client will be sent to the first print server to become
available.
Protocol and Destination (*)
These two input fields create the URI (Universal Ressource Identifier). A resource (e.g., a queue)
can be addressed using the communications protocol (http://, ipp://, . . . ) and the path. The following
table describes the syntax of the individual protocols and gives an example for each:
