Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. A network protocol for
extracting information from a hierarchical directory.

host, for example a Unix/Linux machine.

The physical material on which a document is printed. For example,
bond, transparencies, and labels are all types of media.
A file that contains a historical record of errors and warnings that
occurred on the controller or the copier. The information for each
message includes the date, subsystem, and message severity. You
can filter the message log to list only those messages that meet
specific criteria.
Novell Distributed Print Services. NDPS simplifies the process of
setting up, administering, and troubleshooting Novell printing by
migrating away from queue-based printing toward a more plug in and
print paradigm.
In order for non NDPS-aware printers, such as the controller, to
operate within the NDPS model, a proprietary gateway must be
installed and configured on the network. The TOSHIBA NDPS
Gateway is distributed on the e-STUDIO Admin's e-STUDIO Client
CD-ROM.
NetWare Directory Service. NDS maintains a hierarchical database of
information about the network resources within a global enterprise,
including networks, users, subgroups, servers, volumes, and printers.
Users log onto the network as a whole, not a specific server, and NDS
determines their access rights.
The organizational unit that contains the print server object. Print
queue and device objects can be located anywhere within the NDS
tree, but the HP JetDirect print server needs to be configured to use
the fully-qualified print server object name.
