CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 272

A technician maps a network printer for a few users in an office. The users are initially able to print, but about a week later, they cannot print to the network printer.
Which of the following should the technician do to ensure all users can print?

Answer options

• A. Configure the printer NIC to use full duplexing.
• B. Locally attach the printer to the user's device.
• C. Configure the printer to use a dynamic IP address.
• D. Map the printer by hostname rather than IP address.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because if the printer is assigned a dynamic IP address, it may change over time, causing users to lose connection. Options A and B are not relevant to the issue of network connectivity, while D would not solve the problem if the printer's IP address changes.
