EPPs'

[life]

friends,
a co-worker asked me a question that I had not thought of before. I was pretty sure that I knew the answer but I just wanted to confirm.
The question is "what is the difference between ECP&EPP?"
I will greatly appreciate any contributions.

Hi life ~ (thats a good song too btw...)

EPP/ECP (Enhanced Parallel Port/Enhanced Capability Port) is a standard signaling method for bi-directional parallel communication between a computer and peripheral devices that offers the potential for much higher rates of data transfer than the original parallel signaling methods. EPP is for non-printer peripherals. ECP is for printers and scanners. EPP/ECP are part of IEEE Standard 1284, which also specifies support for current signaling methods (including Centronics, the de facto standard for printer communication) so that both old and new peripherals can be accommodated.

For even more info tha you probably want to know on this see: http://www.whatis.com/eppecp.htm
