You and your brother are sharing a printer. You install the driver software onto your computer and install the printer. Then, you disconnect the printer and lend it to your brother. When you reconnect the printer later on, what is most likely to happen?

Question

The printer is ready to work.

You must reinstall the printer driver.

You must update the printer driver.

The printer is no longer compatible with your computer.

Answer 1

When you reconnect the printer later on, the most likely outcome is:

The printer is ready to work.

Since you have already installed the driver software on your computer before lending the printer to your brother, the system should recognize the printer when you reconnect it, and you will be able to use it without needing to reinstall or update the driver. However, this assumes that nothing has changed regarding the printer settings or the driver during the time it was disconnected.
