A user reports that a previously functioning printer is no longer working. You've confirmed that the printer is turned on and properly connected to the network. Which of the following should be your NEXT step according to the troubleshooting methodology?
You selected this option
Reboot the user's computer, as it may solve most problems.
You selected this option
Check if there has been a recent update to the printer drivers.
You selected this option
Replace the printer with a new model, as it may be outdated.
You selected this option
Advise the user to avoid printing until the issue is resolved.
Checking if there has been a recent update to the printer drivers makes sense as a next step in this context, considering all previous conditions remained unchanged. A driver update could alter the way the computer communicates with the printer, potentially causing the printer to stop working as expected. The other options do not address the direct link between a change and the printer issue.
