You work as a desktop support technician at Domain.com. The Domain.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Domain.com. All servers on the Domain.com network run Windows 2000 Server and all client computers run Windows XP Professional.
A Domain.com user named Ally Wagner uses a portable computer named Certkiller -WS279 that she often uses when she works at remote locations. Ally Wagner uses a docking station when she is at the office. You install a new print server named Certkiller -PR04 on the Domain.com network. You attach a new Laser Jet printer to Certkiller -PR01. Ally Wagner will print to the Laser Jet printer when working at remote locations. The uniform resource locator (URL) for the printer is “http:// Certkiller -pr01. Domain.com/printers/laserjet”. Ally Wagner docks Certkiller -WS279. She wants to configure Certkiller -WS279 to be able to connect to the Laser Jet printer from remote locations.

Explanation:
Ally Wagner can connect to the Laser Jet printer via her web browser by specifying the path to the virtual directory named Printers and then connect to the Laser Jet printer.
Incorrect Answers:
B: The correct path to the printer that Ally Wagner should specify is “http:// Certkiller -pr01. Domain.com/printers/laserjet/.printer” and not just “http:// Certkiller -pr01. Domain.com/printers/laserjet”.
C: Ally Wagner needs to specify port 80 and not port 21 as the printer port. Port 21 is used for FTP connections but Ally Wagner will connect to the Laser Jet printer via HTTP, which uses port 80.
D: Ally Wagner needs to be able to connect to the printer from the Internet. She will not be able to connect to a LAN printer from the Internet.
