The main reason is that we don't want to discover and use arbitrary LDAP-advertised printers on the network - we are advertising CUPS shared printers and not the laser printer down the hall that was entered into the LDAP directory that needs a special driver.
Feel free to provide a patch to use the RFC 3712 schema as an option, or to provide a backend that does regular printer discovery using LDAP...
