CNIT 242 Exam 3 |Questions and
Answers
Two models of printing - -Direct Printing Model
Modern Printing Model
- Which printing model is considered old school? - -Direct Printing Model
- Direct Printing Model - -Application printed directly to the printer
Maximizes accuracy & control
- Direct Printing Model requires what? - -drivers required for each
application and each printer
- Modern Printing Model - -Uses a printer server to manage communications
between clients and printers
Can run on the printer itself or on a separate network accessible server
- What does SPOOL stand for? - -Simultaneous peripheral operations on-line
- What is SPOOL? - -Essentially a buffer service
Write formatted documents to hard drive and pass the control to printer
- Automatic Driver Installation - -Drivers are traditionally installed on the
clients
"Auto magical"
When connect to a network printer (via a print server) the correct driver is
provided to the client workstation without user intervention
- Having multiple queues for a single physical printer - -Set permissions on
who can use each queue
Prioritize jobs
- Having multiple physical printers for a single queue - -Printer "pooling"
Useful if you have more print jobs than a single printer can handle
- All printers in a pool must have what? - -same driver
- What printer permissions must a user have? - -Printer permission
"creator/owner"
, "Manage documents"
- Manage documents permission allows - -allows user to kill and re-order
other users' print jobs
Allows a user to change printer related settings and configuration
- Benefits of "Manage Documents" permission - -Useful if someone sends
something that screws up the printer but isn't paying attention to the results
Helpful if this person is physically located close to the printer
Reduces the amount of print related calls you have to deal with as the
system administrator
- Traditional printer connection - -Serial- Unix and mainframe
USB- consumer printers (wireless gaining popularity)
- workgroup printers rely on - -network to deliver print jobs
- workgroup printers require what? - -use of a print server
- Print server - -controls the flow of data between network and print engine
itself through the use of a spooler service
- Traditional printing protocol - -LPR (line printer remote)
- LPR Limitations - -limited regarding source ports that can be use
LPR times out after 4 minutes
LPR is uni-directional
LPR requires accurate job sizing
- To use LPR, each client must.. - -specify the host and the queue
- host is what? - -DNS name or IP address of printer
- Queue identifies - -how job is formatted
- Two types of job formats - -RAW
TEXT
- RAW job format - -assumes a PDL-formatted job and adds no processing
- TEXT job format - -Can be used for ASCII text and the printer sever will add
a CR to the end of each line
