IPP

Internet Printing Protocol. A developing industry standard that allows

users to print to remote printers across the Internet. With IPP, a user with

an Internet connection can send a document to any printer connected to

the Internet. IPP is platform independent and can be used to print over

any LAN or WAN that supports TCP/IP.

IPX

Internetwork Packet Exchange, a networking protocol used by NetWare.

LAN

Local Area Network.

LED

Light Emitting Diode.

Linux

An open source implementation of UNIX.

LLC

Logical Link Control. An additional data link layer protocol which

operates on top of the MAC protocol defined in the original Ethernet

standard (the "Blue Book").

LPD

The Line Printer Daemon is a protocol for transferring print jobs between

hosts. This is the recommended method for UNIX/Linux systems, but

some System V versions do not support LPD.

Logical Printer

A logical printer acts as a filter between the network and the physical

printer. It appears to the user as a normal printer with additional

characteristics. For example a UNIX/Linux workstation may only send a

line feed (LF) to a shared printer that needs carriage return (CR) and LF.

The logical printer can solve this problem by adding a CR whenever a line

feed is detected.

MIB

Management Information Base. A database of network configuration

information used by SNMP and CMIP to monitor or change network

settings.

NCP

NetWare Core Protocol. Network clients use the NCP to request services of

servers, and servers use NCP to provide services, such as file and print

services.

NDPS

Novell's Distributed Printing Services.

NDS

NetWare Directory Services. A hierarchical data base that manages

NetWare network resources such as servers and volumes.

NetBIOS/NetBEUI

Network Basic Input Output System, a network protocol with special

functions for local area networks. NetBIOS Enhanced User Interface is an

enhanced version of NetBIOS.
