How to Disable a Printer for Troubleshooting

C.

The correct answer is A. Devices and Printers.

To disable a printer in Windows, you need to open the Devices and Printers control panel. Here are the steps to do this:

1. Click on the Start menu and select Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, click on Devices and Printers.
3. In the Devices and Printers window, find the printer you want to disable and right-click on it.
4. Select "See what's printing" from the context menu.
5. In the printer queue window, click on the "Printer" menu and select "Pause Printing". This will effectively disable the printer and prevent any print jobs from being sent to it.

Alternatively, you can also use the "Disable" option in the same context menu to disable the printer entirely. This will prevent it from appearing as an available printer option in any applications.
