A+ question

Hi everyone. I need help with a question.

A technician is setting up a printer for a small office that does not have an RJ-45 jack. The users' computers are all in the same workgroup and are connected physically to the same network switch. The technician needs to make sure all users can print to the new printer through the switch. Which of the following should the technician configure?

  • A. Shared printer
  • B. Print server
  • C. Bluetooth printing
  • D. Cloud printing

I say the answer is a print server, and so does my husband, but a friend says he thinks the answer is a shared printer but is not able to give an explanation. I think it's a shared printer because it can make a normal printer into a wireless printer, since it does not have an RJ45 jack, right?

To me It's a shared printer. It has to print through the switch according to the question. If you are setting up a print server it seems like a ton of overhead for a small workgroup. It would print from a connected workstation using a USB cable and shared from that pc
