We are looking to purchase a standalone networked multifunction printer such
as the Lexmark X422. They seem pretty good value for money - fast laser
printer, photocopier with ADF, scanner (in theory can scan and sent result
over TCP/IP back to any client PC - not sure how :O( and scan to email
(including creating PDF internally)
However, a lot of the latter functionality depends on LDAP access to server
for ease of use.
Would this kind of unit be able to get full LDAP info easily, or would there
be any issues on the SBS side? I know zilch about LDAP, but did download
Softerra's LDAP Browser utility and found I could 'anonymously' see some
LDAP info, but not e.g. list of AD Users (could have been me being
clueless).
Also, I assume LDAP would allow you access to the main AD list of users, but
not to any Exchange Server type lists e.g. public contacts??
TIA
p.s. - anyone with one of these know if you have to put any software on the
server itself? - I know that advice is usually to avoid, but not too sure if
that further limits functionality
