A small office wants to install a new device that all employees can use to print documents from their computers over the local network. Which of the following devices will MOST likely need to be configured with an IP address to function as required?
Printers that can be accessed over a network require an IP address so that other devices on the network can locate them and send print jobs. This IP address acts like a mailing address for the printer on the network. Other peripherals like USB flash drives, wired keyboards, and Bluetooth speakers connect directly to a single computer via USB or Bluetooth and do not use IP addresses for their primary function.
