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.
