Thanks hdhondt,<br />
<br />
You have answered my question nicely. We have the printers set up with LPR at the moment, so i think we will leave them as they are, as they appear to be working ok.<br />
<br />

We have a windows 2003 server, Windows XP clients, and a Konica/Minolta photocopier, and are trying to decide which protocol to use: RAW or LPR?<br />
<br />
- What is the definition of these 2 protocols?<br />
- What are the advantages / disadvantages of both?<br />
- Which is better overall?<br />
- Which would you recommend and why?<br />
<br />
I realise there may be different answers depending on different situations, but a general explanation and a lot of information would be great.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Which is better? RAW or LPR?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
