1 Hi all,
2
3 another OT post, but then this list is getting pretty good with that
4 sort of thing!
5
6 I'm playing around with a new printer at work (Xerox Document Center
7 C360). It's a bit of a monster, but it does have some good features.
8
9 Anyway, I'm wondering what protocol I should use to talk to it? I did a
10 port scan and found these ports open:
11
12 80 http
13 111 sunrpc
14 139 netbios-ssn
15 515 printer
16 631 ipp
17 1025 ?
18 1605 ?
19
20 I've so far tried printing via a samba share on our server, which seems
21 to work; and direct using ipp, which worked.
22
23 My question is really what's the difference? Are some features
24 supported better on some protocols? Are some faster / less resource
25 intensive?
26
27 I'm using cups and gimp-print to get the driver for it.
28
29 I'd appreciate any info. Thanks!
