What type of device sends data from the computer to the printer?

  1. Keyboard

  2. Monitor

  3. Server

  4. Print Spooler

The correct answer is: Print Spooler

A keyboard is a peripheral device used for inputting text or commands into a computer, not for sending data to a printer. A monitor is a display device that shows what is being processed by the computer, not for sending data to a printer. A server is a computer or system that provides data to other computers or devices, not specifically for sending data to a printer. A print spooler is a software program that manages the printing process, including sending data from the computer to the printer. It acts as a temporary storage for print jobs until the printer is ready to process them. Therefore, the print spooler is the correct response as it specifically relates to sending data from the computer to the printer.
