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.

Internetwork Packet Exchange, a networking protocol used by NetWare.

Local Area Network.

Light Emitting Diode.

An open source implementation of UNIX.

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").

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.

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.

Management Information Base. A database of network configuration 

information used by SNMP and CMIP to monitor or change network 

settings.

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.

Novell's Distributed Printing Services. 

NetWare Directory Services. A hierarchical data base that manages 

NetWare network resources such as servers and volumes.

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.
