You are an IT support specialist and a user reports that their device cannot connect to a company printer shared within the local network. The user is part of a workgroup. Which path would you use in File Explorer to correctly map the network printer?
The correct answer is the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path which follows the format: \ServerName\ShareName. This path format is used to access shared resources like printers within a network. Incorrect options such as 'C:\network\printername' represent local paths or incorrect syntaxes for network resources.
