What are two disadvantages of sharing a directly connected printer from a computer? (Choose two.)

• The computer sharing the printer uses its own resources to manage all the print jobs coming to the printer.
• The computer directly connected to the printer always needs to be powered on, even if not in use.
• All the computers using the printer need to use the same operating system.
• Other computers do not need to be cabled directly to the printer.
• Only one computer at a time can use the printer.

Explanation: Not requiring the other computers to be cabled directly to the printer is an advantage of printer sharing. To share a printer computers do not need to be running the same operating system, and more than one computer can send print jobs to the shared printer at the same time. However, the computer directly connected to the printer does needs to be powered on, even if not in use. It uses its own resources to manage all the print jobs coming to the printer.
