When installing a network printer, a technician needs to ensure the printer is available after a network is restarted. Which of the following should the technician set up on the printer to meet this requirement?
Assigning a static IP address to a network printer ensures it always retains the same address, allowing users and print servers to consistently reach it even after a reboot or network refresh.
Option B (Private address): Refers to address ranges (e.g., 192.168.x.x) — doesn't guarantee address persistence.
Option C (Wi-Fi): Is a connection method, not a method of IP assignment.
Option D (Dynamic addressing): Via DHCP, which can change over time unless reservations are made (less reliable).
