LPI Exam 300-300 Topic 2 Question 29 Discussion

Actual exam question for LPI's 300-300 exam

Question #: 29
Topic #: 2

Which of the following statements is true about raw printing with Samba?

APrint jobs are submitted as vector files, including font files, which are rendered and printed by Samba.

BPrinting jobs are always submitted to Samba in raw postscript.

CAny printed file, e.g. an office document, is submitted to the printer without any further processing in exactly the same bit sequence as it is stored on disk.

DSamba converts printer-specific jobs to raw data to make them printable on an arbitrary printer.

EPrinting jobs are rendered on the client and passed on to the printer by Samba.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: E

Client-Side Rendering: In Samba, raw printing means that the client machine renders the print job, which includes converting it to a printer-ready format.

Transmission to Printer: This rendered print job is then sent to the Samba server without further processing or alteration. Samba acts merely as a pass-through, sending the job directly to the printer.

Advantages: This method offloads the rendering process from the server to the client, which can be beneficial in environments with diverse printer types and models, reducing the processing load on the server.

Conclusion: Thus, the correct answer is that printing jobs are rendered on the client and passed on to the printer by Samba.

I think option C sounds familiar, like it mentions sending files without processing. I might have seen a similar question in practice.

I remember something about raw printing, but I'm not sure if Samba processes the files or just sends them as they are.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. Samba doesn't actually render or convert the print jobs - it just passes them along to the printer in their original format. I'm going to go with option C.

I think option C might be the right answer here. Samba just passes the file along to the printer without any additional processing, right?

I'm a bit confused about the difference between "raw printing" and "raw postscript". I'll need to make sure I understand the distinction before I can answer this.

Okay, let's see here. I'm pretty sure Samba doesn't do any rendering or conversion of the print jobs, so I can probably rule out options A and D.

Hmm, this question seems a bit tricky. I'll need to think carefully about the different options and how Samba handles printing.

Option E is the way to go. The client does the hard work, Samba just passes it along. Easy peasy.

Haha, I bet the answer is option A. Samba can totally render vector graphics and fonts, it's like a super-printer!
