how about doing something like this...
Code:
awk '{FS="[,=]"}
{print "dn: " $0
print "objectclass: inetOrgPerson"
print "objectclass: ePerson"
print "objectclass: organizationalPerson"
print "objectclass: person"
print "objectclass: top"
print "cn: "$2
print "sn: "$2
print "userpassword: password"
print "uid: "$2
}' infile

infile should contain

cn=bob,cn=user,dc=com
cn=kev,cn=user,dc=com
cn=john,cn=user,dc=com

from here you can do the addition stuff too.

cancel

cancel(1)                                                                                                                                cancel(1)

NAME

       cancel - cancel print request

SYNOPSIS

       cancel [ request-ID...] [destination...]

       cancel -u user... [destination...]

       The cancel utility cancels print requests. There are two forms of the cancel command.

       The first form of cancel has two optional arguments: print requests (request-ID) and destinations (destination). Specifying request-ID with
       destination cancels request-ID on destination. Specifying only the destination cancels the current print request on destination. If  desti-
       nation is not specified, cancel cancels the requested print request on all destinations.

       The second form of cancel cancels a user's print requests on specific destinations.

       Users  can  only  cancel  print  requests associated with their username. By default, users can only cancel print requests on the host from
       which the print request was submitted. If a super-user has set user-equivalence=true in /etc/printers.conf on the print server,  users  can
       cancel  print  requests  associated with their username on any host. Super-users can cancel print requests on the host from which the print
       request was submitted. Superusers can also cancel print requests from the print server.

       The print client commands locate destination information using the printers database in the  name  service  switch.  See  nsswitch.conf(4),
       printers(4), and printers.conf(4) for details.

       The following options are supported:

       -u user         The name of the user for which print requests are to be cancelled. Specify user as a username.

       The following operands are supported:

       destination     The  destination  on which the print requests are to be canceled. destination is the name of a printer or class of printers
                       (see lpadmin(1M)). If destination is not specified, cancel cancels the requested print request on all destinations. Specify
                       destination  using atomic or POSIX-style (server:destination), names. See  for information regarding using POSIX-style des-
                       tination names with cancel. See standards(5) for information regarding POSIX.

       request-ID      The print request to be canceled. Specify request-ID using LP-style request IDs (destination-number).

       user            The name of the user for which the print requests are to be cancelled. Specify user as a username.

       The following exit values are returned:

       0               Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.

       /var/spool/print/*      LP print queue.

       $HOME/.printers         User-configurable printer database.

       /etc/printers.conf      System printer configuration database.

       printers.conf.byname    NIS version of /etc/printers.conf.

       printers.org_dir        NIS+ version of /etc/printers.conf.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE         |      ATTRIBUTE VALUE        |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability                 |SUNWpcu                      |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

       lp(1), lpq(1B), lpr(1B), lprm(1B), lpstat(1), lpadmin( 1M), nsswitch.conf(4), printers(4), printers.conf(4), attributes(5), standards(5)

       POSIX-style destination names (server:destination) are treated as print requests if destination has the same format as an LP-style request-
       ID. See standards(5).

       Some  print  servers send cancelation notification to job owners when their print jobs have been cancelled. This notification usually comes
       in the form of an email message. Cancelation notices cannot be disabled on a Solaris server.

                                                                    23 Feb 2005                                                          cancel(1)
