A is the correct answer The best option to allow all users to print to the new network printer is to install all applicable print drivers on the print server. This way, the print server can automatically provide the correct driver to the client computers when they connect to the printer. This option also reduces the administrative overhead and security risks of the other options, which involve either granting users more privileges, mapping them to a shared folder, or remotely accessing their computers.

Selected Answer: A
When a printer is installed on a print server, the print server typically handles the distribution of print drivers to client machines. If the users are unable to install the printer but an administrator can, it's likely that the necessary drivers are not installed on the print server for the users' operating systems.

B. Map the users to a print share for driver installation. Mapping the users to a print share is the most efficient and secure way to allow all users to print to the new printer. This method allows users to install the printer driver without requiring administrator privileges. Here's why the other options are less ideal: A. Install all applicable print drivers on the print server: This approach can be complex and may not be compatible with all client devices. C. Give all users temporary administrator rights: Granting administrator rights to all users is a security risk and should be avoided if possible. D. Remotely log in to all users' computers and install the printer: This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive approach. By using a print share, the administrator can centralize the printer management and ensure that all users have access to the new printer. GG

Selected Answer: A
When a print server is used to manage printers, it is essential that all necessary print drivers are installed on the server. This allows client machines to download and install the correct drivers automatically when they connect to the printer, eliminating the need for users to manually install drivers or require administrative privileges.

The best option to allow all users to print to the new printer without granting them administrator rights is: A. Install all applicable print drivers on the print server. By installing all necessary print drivers on the print server, users will be able to connect to the printer and install the appropriate drivers automatically without requiring administrator privileges. This ensures that all users can access and use the printer without the need for additional permissions.

While installing print drivers on the print server can be a viable option in some network environments, it's not the most efficient or secure method in this case. Here are the reasons why: Driver Compatibility: Different client devices (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux) may require specific printer drivers. Installing all possible drivers on the print server can be complex and might not guarantee compatibility with all devices. Security Risks: Granting administrator privileges to the print server to install drivers can increase the risk of security vulnerabilities. User Experience: Users may still need to manually configure the printer settings on their devices, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. By mapping the users to a print share, the administrator can centralize the printer management process and ensure that all users have access to the printer without compromising security or requiring complex driver installations.
