Rootfloe Company has recently purchased a new wireless printer and has asked you to configure it in their office. You have installed the necessary printer drivers on your workstation and have plugged the printer into the power outlet. You just configured the printer to connect to the guest wireless network. Next, you try to print a test page, but nothing prints out. Which of the following is the most likely cause for the printer not printing the test page?
1) You connected the printer to the guest wireless network instead of the corporate wireless network.
2) You didn’t enable DHCP on your workstation.
3) You forgot to configure your workstation as a print server.
4) You didn’t configure the printer to use the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP).
Answer : You connected the printer to the guest wireless network instead of the corporate wireless network.
Overall explanation:
Most corporate wireless networks are configured as two separate networks: one for the corporate wireless network traffic and another for any guests that might connect to the wireless network while visiting your offices. These two wireless networks are isolated from each other, so if you connect the printer to the guest wireless network then the workstations will be unable to reach the printer and print out any documents or test pages.
