RIP
(redirected from rip off)

RIP

Abbreviation for requiescat in pace (Latin ‘may he/she rest in peace’).

RIP

Program in a laser printer (or other high-resolution printer) that converts the stream of printing instructions from a computer into the pattern of dots that make up the printed page. A separate program is required for each type of printer and for each page description language (such as PostScript or PCL).

RIPs are very demanding programs because of the complexity of a typical printed page. It is not unusual for RIPs to run on extremely fast and powerful RISC microprocessors, which are sometimes more powerful than the processor in the computer attached to the printer.
