Preferred Print Protocol

I have a mixed OS network, I've just purchased an Edimax wifi print
server and am wondering what is the preferred print protocol.

I have options to use RAW, LPD/LPR or IPP and am unsure if there are
benefits of one over the other.

Reposted as previous error.

Just to clarify, I am setting this up for a relative as I use a CUPs
server on my own network as highlighted in previous post with subject
'Small Linux Print Server'

Use IPP , (port 631) , that is the modern way of printing, supported by all
Linux,mac and windows.

In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf you just add the line
BrowsePoll host-or-ip-addresss of your Edimax, and it's configured printers
will be imported to that cups server, and ready to run.
