Scenario

You are an administrator for a company named Contoso, Ltd., which provides land-

scaping services for government-owned property. You are working with Jeff, a man-

ager in the Marketing department who has just purchased 10 identical laser printers at

an auction. The printers all have a built-in network interface that uses TCP/IP. You

have verified that the printers are functional and have already attached each printer to

the network. Jeff wants to configure these printers so that they are all accessible to the

users in the department as a single printer, preventing users from having to install mul-

tiple printers.
