A technician connects a new plug-and-play printer to a user's laptop and powers it on. What is the most likely next step the operating system will perform automatically?
Ask the user to enter the printer's IP address.
Detect the new hardware and attempt to install the necessary drivers.
Plug-and-play is a standard that allows an operating system to automatically detect and configure a newly connected device without requiring the user to manually install drivers. When a PnP-compliant printer is connected and powered on, the OS will recognize the new hardware and attempt to find and install the appropriate driver, making the device ready to use. Requesting an IP address is typical for manual network printer installations, while system scans and defragmentation are unrelated computer maintenance tasks.
