Question: 1 / 410

Which of the following is NOT a supported print protocol in macOS?

CUPS

AppleTalk II

Bluetooth Printing

The choice indicating that Bluetooth Printing is not a supported print protocol in macOS is accurate because, while macOS does support Bluetooth functionality, it doesn't traditionally use Bluetooth as a primary printing protocol. Instead, macOS utilizes established protocols such as CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System), which is the underlying printing system for macOS, and operates as a robust framework for managing print jobs.

AppleTalk II is an older protocol that was commonly used in earlier Mac systems for networking and printing, emphasizing Apple's historical commitment to specific protocols in their operating system. The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) is also supported as a standard printing protocol in many UNIX-like systems, including macOS, allowing for remote printing through a network.

Bluetooth can be used for printer connectivity in some contexts, often as a direct connection option rather than a protocol recognized for network printing in the same way as the specified protocols. Thus, it stands out as the option that is not fundamentally recognized as a supported print protocol in the context of macOS systems.
