The process of sending print jobs from the print queue to the printer is called?
- A.
Spooling
- B.
Queuing
- C.
Redirecting
- D.
Printing
Correct Answer
D. PrintingExplanation
The correct answer is "spooling". Spooling is the process of sending print jobs from the print queue to the printer. It involves temporarily storing the print jobs in a buffer or a spool file before they are sent to the printer for printing. This allows multiple print jobs to be queued and processed in the order they were received, improving efficiency and preventing print jobs from being lost or overwritten.Rate this question:

UIDs and GIDs are unique to the system and once used can never be reused. True or False?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer

False. UIDs and GIDs are unique identifiers assigned to users and groups in a system.

For example, when a user or group is deleted, their UID or GID may become available for reuse in the future. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that UIDs and GIDs can never be reused.Rate this question:
