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

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.

information used by SNMP and CMIP to monitor or change network
