I had a strange question asked of me the other day in a interview about what is the difference between and IP printer queue vs network printer queue, is there anyone that could fill me in.<br />
<br />
I know you can address a printer by IP or by computer name and in AD you can set up various containers to group printers on a network and also know that you could set a computer to be a host to a LPT/USB type printer but im really left wondering what the question was trying to get at.

IP printer queue vs network printer queue

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
