Please help with this question:

38. You are installing an LPR port on your Windows XP Professional client to be able to print to a print device connected to a UNIX print server. Which of the following information do you need to provide?
a. IP address or host name of the UNIX print server
b. IP address or host name of the print device
c. The name of the print queue on the UNIX server
d. The name of the print queue on the print device

Answer(s): a. IP address or host name of the UNIX print server
c. The name of the print queue on the UNIX server

Explanation:
An LPR port can be used to create a printer for a print device connected to a UNIX print server or a network printer with LPD support. The line printer daemon (LPD) is the server part, the line printer remote (LPR) is the client part. When you add an LPR port, you need to supply the IP address or host name of the UNIX print server, or the printer itself, and the name of the print queue on the UNIX server, or the name of the network printer.

Okay, When I read the explanation, it looks like all the answers could be correct:

"When you add an LPR port, you need to supply the IP address or host name of the UNIX print server (A), or the printer itself (B?), and the name of the print queue on the UNIX server (C), or the name of the network printer (D?)."

I must be misreading this. Could someone elaborate? Thank you!

Answer B and D would be correct if you were adding an LPR port for a network printer that supports the LPD, but the question mentions the printer is connected to the UNIX server, so it is not a network printer. As the question also mentions, you need to forward to a printer connected to the UNIX server, not the printer itself.
