Individual or lists of recipients can be imported by NPrinting and become an integral part of an NPrinting file. Sources include text and Excel files, databases, and LDAP directories. Here is how to import from LDAP directory subfolders.

For the purposes of this tutorial you must:

• launch NPrinting
• open an NPrinting file
• know the IP address of an LDAP directory server, port number, and authentication protocol
• have proper credentials
• know the directory structure parameters

Hi,

is it also possible to import groups from LDAP-Directory or can I only import users?

Thanks for a short answer an best regards

Only recipients can be imported from LDAP, not the groups. The groups can be created in NPrinting manually.

So let me understand this one - from active directory (LDAP) we can only import full name and Email?

What about department field for example?
