B is the best The technician should install the appropriate printer drivers for the OS to enable the computer to communicate with the printer. The generic printer name suggests that the drivers are missing or not installed correctly.

Wouldn't hooking up the printer with a USB cable cause the correct drivers to be automatically installed? I'd go for this option since it seems like the printer is for that work station only, and not for a network of computers.

Yes but not all the time thats the case. Sometimes you'll have to go to the manufacture website to download the appropriate dirvers

The answer is B. The computer recognizes the printer ("Generic Printer") so connecting to it directly will result in the same response. The printer drivers need to be installed.
