Harry,
On your concern about the printer-uri changing if you move the printer. As
the printer-uri is a logical attribute, which is then mapped to a physical
address, I don't see that it would be less flexible than using the
printer-name. In both cases you either want to change it or keep it when you
move a printer.

Subject: LDAP comment
Here is a comment from our internal review of the LDAP schema that
I thought I'd share with the IPP group and solicit comments.
Page 7, sections 3.3 and 3.4. Referring to
the structural class printerService and the
Aux class printerServiceAuxClass.
Are we sure that printer-uri is the right
attribute for naming these services. What if the
physical printer and associated printer service moves
from one domain to another. The printer-uri would
change, thus the instance name would change. The
question is whether printer-name might be a better
choice for naming in this case than printer-uri.
If we stick with printer-uri, it might be useful to
include an example of the above.
