In a school lab, one printer is used by many computers. Which network benefit does this show?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Resource sharing
When several networked computers send jobs to one printer, the printer is a shared hardware resource. Sharing avoids purchasing and maintaining one printer for every computer, although permissions and a suitable connection are still needed. Spell checking, refreshing a page, and creating passwords are software or security functions, not this network benefit.
