220-801 Question #86: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: attach the printer to a print server.. When a printer is shared directly from a PC, that PC must manage all print spooling, job queuing, and communication for every user who prints - consuming CPU, RAM, and I/O. A dedicated print server offloads that processing from the desktop computer: clients send jobs to the print

Question

A customer has a shared printer on their front desk. Both the printer and computer are heavily utilized on a daily basis. The user states the computer is constantly bogged down when they print a large document and would like it fixed. The BEST solution would be to:

Options

  • Aremove the printer share from the network.
  • Battach the printer to a print server.
  • Cpurchase inexpensive inkjet printers for all users.
  • Dmove the print share to another computer.

Explanation

When a printer is shared directly from a PC, that PC must manage all print spooling, job queuing, and communication for every user who prints - consuming CPU, RAM, and I/O. A dedicated print server offloads that processing from the desktop computer: clients send jobs to the print server, which handles spooling and printer management independently. This frees the front-desk computer to remain responsive. Removing the share or moving it to another computer just shifts the same problem elsewhere, and replacing all printers with inkjets does not address the root cause.
