Your network contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.Server1
has the Print and Document Services server role installed.
You connect a new print device to the network. The marketing department and the sales
department will use the print device.
You need to provide users from both departments with the ability to print to the network print
device. The solution must ensure that if there are multiple documents queued to print, the
documents from the sales users print before the documents from the marketing users.
What should you do on Server1?
A.
Add two printers and configure printer pooling.
B.
Add one printer. Modify the printer priority and the security settings.
C.
Add two printers. Modify the priorities of each printer and the security settings of each
printer.
D.
Add one printer and configure printer pooling.
Explanation:
To set different print priority to different groups you need to navigate to the Advanced tab of
the Printers and Faxes properties to set priorities to ensure that the Sales department print
jobs take priority.

Why C . Not B ?
Because. Printers are not that actual device but it’s the software interface through which a computer communicates with a print device.
multiple printers must be connected to the same print device to allow certain people’s print jobs to print before others.
Different printing requirements for each group necessitate a different logical print device. Each group gets a logical print device with the sales printer taking priority.
Print devices are the actually hardware that the paper comes out of. Each group needs its own printer which connects to the same print device. Our colloquial use of “printer” to refer to the printing hardware is actually wrong in Microsoft world.
He said “logical” print device. He’s not wrong.
Its actually B.
The correct is B!
C
Open Printers and Faxes.
Right-click the printer you want to set, click Properties, and then click the Advanced tab.
In Priority, click the up or down arrows, and then click OK.
Or, type a priority level, where 1 is the lowest level and 99 is the highest, and then click OK.
Click Add Printer to add a second logical printer for the same physical printer. For instructions, see Related Topics.
Click the Advanced tab.
In Priority, set a priority higher than that of the first logical printer.
Instruct the regular group of users to use the first logical printer name and the group with higher priority to use the second logical printer name. Set the appropriate permissions for the different groups.
C is correct…

it’s definitely C! too to ensure that one group of users has the advantage in this case, you need 2 instances of the Printing software, thus the Printer itself (in the MS world the physical printer is called a ‘print device’, the ‘printer’ is actually the printing software). So in this case you would need 2 printers added and just set higher priority from the Printer Properties’ Advanced Tab to the one assigned to the Sales Group 🙂
very good explanation
Technically wouldn’t it have to be add one printer because the question states that”You connect a new print device to the network.” Wouldn’t adding 1 pc then make it two printers? I read C as there being 3 printers
