I found resources on the web saying AFP is Advanced Function Printing and AFP is Advanced Function Presentation. Probably a renaming issue or something. Does anyone know about this change/incompatibility between definitions?

Advanced Function Printing was the original term applied by IBM. When new methods to distribute and use the output were added over the years (such as the Internet, on-line viewing, etc.), AFP was renamed to Advanced Function Presentation.

IBM's sale of half of its printing systems company to Ricoh

Earlier this year, IBM sold have of its printing systems division to Ricoh to create a joint company - Infoprint Solutions. Additionally, future development for AFP specifiations were turned over earlier to the AFP Color Consortium, an industry group that renamed itself to AFP Consortium.

Perhaps should be added to the article.
