CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 548

A workstation does not recognize a printer. However, the previous day, the printer successfully received a job from the workstation. Which of the following tools should a technician use to see what happened before the failure?

Answer options

• A. Performance Monitor
• B. Devices and Printers
• C. Task Scheduler
• D. Event Viewer

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Event Viewer, because it logs system events that can provide insights into printer errors or communication issues. The other options, while useful for different functions, do not specifically track historical events related to device failures.
