Explanation

Point-to-Print (option B) is a key advantage of client-server printing because it allows clients to automatically download and install the correct printer drivers from the print server when they connect - eliminating manual driver management on each workstation.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Server dependent) is actually a disadvantage, not an advantage - if the print server goes down, clients lose printing capability.
• C (Printer feedback) is a generic feature of most modern printing systems, not specific to client-server architecture.
• D (Full control of print job status for end user) is misleading - in client-server printing, the server manages the print queue, so end users typically have less direct control, not more.

Memory tip: Think "Point-to-Print = Point and Print" - you point your client to the server, and the server hands you everything you need (drivers included). The server is the distributor, not just a middleman.
