and recognizing incoming messages.
IPDS Intelligent Printer Data Stream. An IBM protocol for data sent to page
printers. A page description language analogous to PostScript.
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.

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").
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 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.
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.
LPR Line PRinter. The Unix print command. This does not actually print files
but rather copies or links them to a spool area from where a daemon
copies them to the printer.
