A user states that a network printer, attached to and shared from a co-worker’s computer,
does not always print the jobs submitted to it. The user adds that it seems to happen at
different times throughout the day, but at other times works fine. Which of the following is
MOST likely the cause?
A.
The co-worker’s computer is hibernating
B.
The user’s print drivers are incompatible
C.
The printer has entered power save mode
D.
The submitted jobs are incompatible
Explanation:
The computer might be hibernating. Since the problem occurs certain times throughout the
day, the print jobs submitted to it might only be active when the computer is active. If the
computer is hibernating, print jobs will not be able to go through the printer.
This seems a little silly. If it is hibernating, then no one is at the workstation, right?
You might be right or they are very busy but whatever the case the computer that is sharing the printer has gone into a low power state do to lack of use so you will not see the shared device until it is woken up so to speak. A resource system is like a server in that it needs to be up to be used.
