CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 54

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?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as sharing the printer allows multiple users within the same workgroup to access and print to it through the network switch. Options B, C, and D are not suitable because a print server is not necessary for a small office setup, Bluetooth printing requires proximity and specific devices, and cloud printing relies on internet access which is not applicable here.
