The print data goes to a scheduler [14] which sends jobs to a filter system that converts the print job into a format the printer will understand. [15] The filter system then passes the data on to a backend —a special filter that sends print data to a device or network connection. [ 16 ]
A printing protocol is a protocol for communication between client devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc.) and printers (or print servers).It allows clients to submit one or more print jobs to the printer or print server, and perform tasks such as querying the status of a printer, obtaining the status of print jobs, or cancelling individual print jobs.
In computers, a printer driver or a print processor is a piece of software on a computer that converts the data to be printed to a format that a printer can understand. The purpose of printer drivers is to allow applications to do printing without being aware of the technical details of each printer model.
The protocol allows clients to submit one or more print jobs to the network-attached printer or print server, and perform tasks such as querying the status of a printer, obtaining the status of print jobs, or cancelling individual print jobs. Like all IP-based protocols, IPP can run locally or over the Internet.
The print command allowed specifying one of many possible local printer interfaces, [23] and could make use of networked printers using the net command. [24] A maximum number of files and a maximum buffer size could be specified, and further command-line options allowed adding and removing files from the queue. [23]
Note that the LPD queue name is case sensitive. Some modern implementations of LPD on network printers might ignore the case or queue name altogether and send all jobs to the same printer. Others have the option to automatically create a new queue when a print job with a new queue name is received. This helps to simplify the setup of the LPD ...

In computer networking, a print server, or printer server, is a type of server that connects printers to client computers over a network. [1] It accepts print jobs from the computers and sends the jobs to the appropriate printers, queuing the jobs locally to accommodate the fact that work may arrive more quickly than the printer can actually handle.
