    • Software print servers operate within an operating system.
    • Hardware print servers cannot detect printers automatically.
    • Software print servers only use wireless connections.
  8. Question 8

    What is a primary function of a dedicated print server?

    • Storing hard copy documents for later retrieval.
    • Connecting printers directly to a network for printing jobs.
    • Providing power to the printers.
    • Managing scanning capabilities of printers.
  9. Question 9

    Which of the following is a benefit of using wireless printing standards?

    • Allowing multiple devices to connect without physical cables.
    • Increasing the speed of printer updates.

    • 802.11
  12. Question 12

    What is a disadvantage of hardware print servers compared to software print servers?

    • Reduced security in print job management.
    • Higher costs associated with hardware maintenance.
    • Limited printer compatibility.
    • Increased latency in printing jobs.
  13. Question 13

    Which function of a print server involves managing the print job queue?

    • Administrate print jobs
