config
 File
This is a file that resides in the print server’s memory and contains all the 
parameters that determine the print server’s functionality. By editing the 
config file (changing the parameter settings), you can configure the print 
server to meet the printing needs of your network.
Client/server Printing
Means that print jobs are sent to a file server, with different clients 
attached to the print queue, rather than directly to the print server (Peer-
to-Peer printing).
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Enables e.g. a print server to 
automatically obtain an unused IP address from the DHCP server.
To fully benefit from this method, the print server also supports DDNS, 
which is available in Windows 2000 networks.

Web services.
DNS

IP address in DNS, e.g. when the host is given a new IP address by DHCP.
