A. Print device.
B. Printer.
C. Print processor.
D. Print pool.

However, the information technology department is concerned about the licensing strategy for the workstations when connecting to all three of the company’s NT Server computers. What is the most appropriate licensing mode?
A. Per server licensing.
B. Windows NT Workstation does not require licensing.
C. Per seat licensing.
D. A combination of per server and per seat licensing.
14. You share the printing device on your Windows NT workstation with a group of users. You recently received an update of the device drivers that will result in better performance. What is the best way to perform the upgrade for the other NT Workstation computers that use the printer?

C. It will obtain the status of a print queue on a NetWare server.
D. It is used to obtain information about the print queue on a TCP/IP host.
Answers
1. (C)
If there is not enough unused physical memory available when an application attempts to store data in memory, the VMM uses demand paging to find pages of RAM not recently used. It copies these pages to the pagefile.sys.
2. (A)
Because APP1 is running in its own memory space, it is not affected by the crash of APP2. MS-DOS applications always run in their own NTVDM and are therefore not affected by faulty Win16 applications.
3. (C)
To close an application that is no longer responding, you must use task manager and end the task.
4. (A)
With NDIS, one or more protocols can be bound to one or more network card drivers. ODI is the Novell equivalent to NDIS and also allows more than one protocol to be bound to a network card.
5. (A)
The redirector is also known as the workstation service.
6. (C)
TDI is the acronym for the Transport Driver Interface.
7. (B)
NWLink is Microsoft's implementation of the IPX/SPX protocol suite.
8. (A)
Posix is a standard set of API's for versions of UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems. Applications written using these API's can be installed and run on an NTFS partition on a Windows NT computer.
9. (A)
DLC is used to handle communication between a network printing device and the print server.
10. (A)
When an incorrect print driver is installed, print jobs usually come out illegibly. To solve this problem, the print driver must be replaced.
11. (C)
Disk space is always required for spooling. The location of the spool folder can be edited in the registry under the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers.
12. (A)
A printer is a logical device created in Windows NT. A printing device is the actual hardware device which prints a document.
13. (C)
Per seat allows a single workstation to only require a single license to connect to multiple NT servers.
14. (D)
Each time a Windows NT computer sends a print job to a print server, the device drivers are automatically updated. Note: Windows 95 computers don't support this feature.
15. (B)
There is no need to manually install the device drivers, because Windows NT will automatically handle the installation process.
16. (B)
The LPR command will send a print job to a UNIX workstation running a printing demon.
17. (D)
The LPQ command is installed with TCP/IP services. It will retrieve status information from a TCP/IP host running a printing daemon. Note: Communication between the client and the server computer is handled over TCP.
