Windows standard TCP/IP port The standard TCP/IP port simplifies connecting to remote printers using the TCP/IP protocol. A computer that acts as a print server must run the TCP/IP protocol in order to print. OkiLPR also includes useful tools enabling you to download PS and PRN files directly to your printer, and automatically redirect jobs to other printers on the network. Installing a network printer > 60 IPP The IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), defines a standard protocol for printing as well as managing print jobs, media size, resolution, and such like. NetBEUI NetBEUI (NetBios Extended User Interface) is a protocol that was designed for use on small workgroups or LANs. Within Windows, NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing between computers. It provides a simple method of printing, but the protocol does have limitations and is not as robust as TCP/IP or IPX. Typically it is employed in small business networks or home networks.
