ALTHOUGH THE COMPUTER BROWSER SERVICE HELPS USERS FIND PRINTERS ON ANETWORK, IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO EXPLICITLY CONNECT TO SHARED NETWORK PRINTERS

1.

Correct Answers: D and F

A. Incorrect:

Although the Computer Browser service helps users find printers on a

network, it is not required to explicitly connect to shared network printers.

B. Incorrect:

The Net Logon service is used for pass-through authentication for

computers in a domain, but is not required to connect to shared network printers.

C. Incorrect:

The Network Connections service is used to manage objects in the

Network and Dial-Up Connections folder and does not need to be running to con-

nect to shared network printers.

D. Correct:

The Print Spooler service is responsible for receiving files from applica-

tions and forwarding them to printers. Any time a user needs to print from a Win-

dows XP Professional system, the Printer Spooler service must be running—

including printing to a network printer.

E. Incorrect:

The Server service is required only on the system hosting the shared

printer. Windows XP Professional systems connecting to the shared printer across

the network do not need to have the Server service running.

F. Correct:

The Workstation service is responsible for establishing connections to

shared files and printers. Therefore, although it is not required when printing to a

local printer, it is required when printing to a shared network printer.
