SLP

Printers use Service Location Protocol (SLP) to announce and look up services on a local network without
prior configuration. When SLP is enabled, the printer becomes a Service Agent (SA) and announces its
services to User Agents (UA) on the network using SLP.
Directory Agents (DA) are components that cache services. They are used in larger networks to reduce
the amount of traffic. DAs are optional. If a DA is present, then User Agents (UAs) and System Agents
(SAs) are required to use it instead of communicating directly with the printer.
