Basic Information โ€‹

From here: Raw printing is what we define as the process of making a connection to port 9100/tcp of a network printer. It is the default method used by CUPS and the Windows printing architecture to communicate with network printers as it is considered as โ€˜the simplest, fastest, and generally the most reliable network protocol used for printersโ€™. Raw port 9100 printing, also referred to as JetDirect, AppSocket or PDL-datastream actually is not a printing protocol by itself. Instead all data sent is directly processed by the printing device, just like a parallel connection over TCP. In contrast to LPD, IPP and SMB, this can send direct feedback to the client, including status and error messages. Such a bidirectional channel gives us direct access to results of PJL, PostScript or PCL commands. Therefore raw port 9100 printing โ€“ which is supported by almost any network printer โ€“ is used as the channel for security analysis with PRET and PFT.
