I'm playing around with a new printer at work (Xerox Document Center C360). It's a bit of a monster, but it does have some good features. Anyway, I'm wondering what protocol I should use to talk to it? I did a port scan and found these ports open: 80 http 111 sunrpc 139 netbios-ssn 515 printer 631 ipp 1025 ? 1605 ? I've so far tried printing via a samba share on our server, which seems to work; and direct using ipp, which worked. My question is really what's the difference? Are some features supported better on some protocols? Are some faster / less resource intensive? I'm using cups and gimp-print to get the driver for it. I'd appreciate any info.
