A RIP is a Raster Image Processor. It's pretty much a replacement
printer driver, but with far more extensive capabilities. With the
better RIP's, you can actually assign how each ink is used, and map to
specific paper profiles (the latter you can also do from PS). They are
usually used in combination with profiling to produce higher quality and
more consistent results.
Typically, RIP's are quite expensive ($500+), although there is an
excellent and cheap B&W RIP available for certain Epson printer,
QuadToneRIP, which is $50USD (With free, unreqtricted trials)
