| Another week of questions is upon us.
And away we go.....
Hlang is printing to the network print device \\wkstn4\printer11.
printer11 stops functioning for some unknown reason. Luckily for hlang, a similar print device is available for him to use on \\wkstn5\printer22.
Hlang comes to you, oh great network administrator, and advises you of the current situation. How can you allow users to continue to print to the same network printer name without having to run around reconfiguring all of the users workstations?
A. Add a new port for \\wkstn4\printer11.
Have the new port point to \\wkstn5\printer22
B. Modify the share name for printer11 to printer22.
C. Enable printer pooling on \\wkstn5\printer22.
D. Change the print server properties for printer11 so that the print spool folder points to
\\wkstn5\admin$\system32\spool
\printers
Good luck and see you tomorrow for the answer! (FYI, the periods at the end of the sentences are not part of the share name. I'm sure everyone knew that, just didn't want anyone to get confused  ) | |

| Sounds like A will take care of it. | |
|
| Wish I'd always had a network administrator to turn to when the going gets tough
The answer must be an A | |

| A
Add a tcpip port to the nonfunctioning printer pointing to the address of the functioning one. You may want to enable printer pooling as well on wrkstn4 so you can use the old printer when it comes back online. | |

| A will do. | |

| I'm going with "A" as well. | |

And the answer is....A
By adding a new port with a UNC path for a similar printer on another computer, you can redirect the print jobs to another functioning printer. |
