A company is setting up one new laser printer on every floor. What type of server will store the print jobs in a queue and then spool them to the device when it is ready?

The type of server that will store the print jobs in a queue and then spool them to the device when it’s ready is a Print Server.

A print server’s primary function is to manage one or more printers in a network. It receives print jobs from client computers and sends these jobs to the appropriate printer, managing the print queue to ensure that documents are printed in the order they were received. This is particularly useful in an environment like a company with multiple printers, as it helps in efficient management and distribution of print jobs.

The other server types mentioned have different functions:

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server: Assigns IP addresses and other network configurations to devices on a network, but doesn’t manage print jobs.
• DNS (Domain Name System) Server: Translates domain names into IP addresses, and isn’t involved in managing printers or print jobs.
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Server: Used for the transfer of files over a network but does not handle print jobs or printer management.
