A small office needs all of the computers to print to one printer. The manager asks if the printer can be a local and a network printer at the same time. Is this possible?
  1. No, a printer connected locally to a computer has to be dedicated to the computer.
  2. Yes, if the printer is connected to a PC via USB or LPT cable and is shared on the network via the local PC.
  3. Yes, if the computer is connected locally via USB or LPT cable but connected separately to the network with a NIC.
  4. No, a printer must be attached to a local computer or attached to the network via a NIC.
Explanation
Answer: B - A printer connected to a local computer can be shared on the network without a special NIC connection.

Key Takeaway: The printer needs to be connected to a local PC via USB or LPT cable (or FireWire in some cases) and shared on the local LAN.
