Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Buying a printer with a LAN (Local Area Network) interface allows all employees to print to it directly over the network, eliminating the need for the printer to be connected to a specific computer that must be powered on for others to print. This solution addresses the problem of accessibility and does not require the printer to be physically connected to any one user's computer, unlike a USB interface option.
