What are two disadvantages of sharing a directly connected printer from a computer? (Choose two.) Only one computer at a time can use the printer. The computer sharing the printer uses its own resources to manage all the print jobs coming to the printer. Other computers do not need to be cabled directly to the printer. All the computers using the printer need to use the same operating system. The computer directly connected to the printer always needs to be powered on, even if not in use.

While troubleshooting a printer problem, a technician discovers that the printer has been connected to the wrong computer port. Which printer problem would this mistake have caused? The print queue is functioning, but print jobs are not printed. Blank pages are printed by the printer. When a document is printed, there are unknown characters on the page. The print spooler displays an error.

The print queue is functioning, but print jobs are not printed.

A small company is deciding whether a laser printer should be purchased to replace an inkjet printer. What are two disadvantages of laser printers? (Choose two.) The start-up cost is high. It cannot print in high resolution. Toner cartridges are expensive. It only prints black and white documents. It uses expensive piezoelectric crystals to generate print images.

This is printer port commonly used by modern plug & play printers for home use.

USB Port

Which method is recommended for cleaning the print heads in an inkjet printer? Wipe the print heads with isopropyl alcohol. Wipe the print heads with a damp cloth. Use compressed air. Use the printer software utility.

Use the printer software utility

Print software either sends the job to a file or transmits the information to a remote destination in the cloud for printing.

Virtual Printing

- The server accepts incoming print jobs from computers, thereby freeing the computers for other tasks. However, it can only manage one printer. - Used in large networking environments to manage multiple printers at a time.He computer sharing the printer uses its own resources to manage the print jobs coming to the printer. - It must have a powerful processor, adequate storage space, and memory to meet the requests of print clients.
