NOTES

117       Be  mindful  of  the following if the LDAP database is used as the name
118       service. If the ldapclient(1M) server is a replica  LDAP  server,  LDAP
119       printer  database  updates  may  not appear immediately, as the replica
120       server may not not have been updated by the master server  and  can  be
121       out of sync. For example, a printer that you deleted by using lpset(1M)
122       may still appear in the printer list you display with lpget  until  the
123       replica  is  updated  from  the  master. Replica servers vary as to how
124       often they are updated from the master. Refer to the  for more informa‐
125       tion on LDAP replication.
