What is the primary function of Printer Share?

The primary function of Printer Share is to enable the connection of a printer to a workstation via USB or Bluetooth. This capability allows users to directly link their computers to the printer for printing tasks without requiring a network connection. When a printer is shared via USB, it can function only as a local printer, which means the workstation must be physically connected to the printer to send print jobs.

While assigning a shared printer for access within a network facilitates multiple users to print, the essence of Printer Share revolves around the immediate communication between the device and the user’s workstation, which is often through wired (USB) or wireless (Bluetooth) connections.

The other options touch on various aspects of printer management; however, they do not capture the core purpose of Printer Share. Connecting multiple printers to a network, managing print settings, or handling print job prioritization each serves specific operational roles but do not directly define the functionality of Printer Share.
