About the different methods
Windows Rally
Windows Rally is an automated “Plug-n-Play” type utility that
allows users to discover and configure network devices
effortlessly.
Windows standard TCP/IP port
The standard TCP/IP port simplifies connecting to remote
printers using the TCP/IP protocol. A computer that acts as a
print server must run the TCP/IP protocol in order to print.
Can be configured to use either LPR or RAW (e.g. Port9100).
OkiLPR
Used to connect your printer over TCP/IP using an LPR port.
OkiLPR also includes useful tools enabling you to download PS
and PRN files directly to your printer and automatically redirect
jobs to other printers on the network.
IPP
The IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) defines a standard protocol
for printing as well as managing print jobs, media, resolution
etc.
NetBEUI
NetBEUI (NetBios Extended User Interface) is a protocol that
was designed for use in small workgroups or LANs. Within
Windows NetBEUI is used for file and printer sharing between
computers. It provides a simple method of printing, but it does
have limitations, and is not as robust as TCP/IP or IPX.
Typically it is employed in small business or home networks.
