Windows Operating System Fundamentals — Question 2

Which two steps should you perform to install a local printer that connects directly to your personal computer? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Connect the printer to an available USB port and allow Windows to locate and install the appropriate driver.
• B. Connect the Ethernet cable from your printer to the RJ45 connector on the personal computer and follow the Windows prompts.
• C. Follow the manufacturer's directions by using the installation CD provided along with the printer.
• D. Use the Add Network Printer feature from Control Panel.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answer is A because connecting the printer via USB and allowing Windows to install the driver is a standard method for local printers. Option D is incorrect as it pertains to adding a network printer, which is not relevant for a local printer connection. Option B is also incorrect because it describes a network setup rather than a direct connection, and option C, while potentially useful, is not necessary if Windows can automatically install the driver.
