This would be something I'm interested in. We have some clusters and
for each cluster there's one cupsd running (configured via heartbeat in case of failure).
But I would like to have an ldap-server (with printer configuration) and on each node a cupsd running adn fetching the config.

Would you mind sharing your script for a skeleton (for me and other users)?

Thanks in advance,
