In total, he has 20 printers in his list of printers, and he is frustrated that he has to change printers for each location. What should you do to help Glen?

Why each option

To automatically set the default printer based on network location in Windows 7, you need to enable and configure the 'Manage default printers' feature.

AInstruct Glen that he must set the default printer when he visits each location for the first time.

Instructing Glen to manually set the default printer is the current frustrating situation and does not solve his problem.

BUnder Devices and Printers, select a printer. Set the Manage default printers option to ChangeCorrect

In Windows 7, the 'Manage default printers' feature allows a user to configure the system to automatically change the default printer based on the detected network location. This feature helps eliminate the need for manually selecting a default printer when moving between different offices and home.

CUpgrade Glen's laptop to Windows 7 Enterprise to enable location-aware printing.

Location-aware printing (also known as 'Manage default printers') is available in Windows 7 Professional and higher editions, so an upgrade to Enterprise is not necessary for this feature.

DUnder Devices and Printers, right-click the default printer and select the Set as default printer

Right-clicking a printer and selecting 'Set as default printer' only sets a static default printer, it does not enable automatic changing based on location.
