Not sure about your numeric suffixes; here we use:

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7866.1.1 NAME 'ciPrinterName'
    EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
    SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{32768} )

...

objectclass ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7866.2.1 NAME 'ciEmployee' SUP inetOrgPerson
    STRUCTURAL
    MUST ( employeeNumber $ sn )
    MAY ( ciDomainName $ ciApp $ ciDefPrinter $ ciPrinterName ))
