Explanation

The most likely cause of this issue is that the printer is now located at the distance of more than three feet from the laptop. If the printer is located at a distance more than 3 feet, this will create problem in communicating with the laptop. Infrared is a communication medium used for wireless networks to transfer data between devices. Infrared can transmit signals at high rates because of the high bandwidth of infrared light. An infrared network can normally broadcast at 10 Mbps. Answer option A is incorrect. According to the question, the printer was printing properly. It indicates that the driver is installed properly. Answer option D is incorrect. There is no such option in the control panel for disabling printer. Answer option B is incorrect. There is no need of updating the printer driver because the printer was working properly.
