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.

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.
