Which policy blocks the ability to print to a networked or USB-connected printer?

• A. Print blocking
• B. Quarantine
• C. Dictionary
• D. Tombstone

Answer: (A)

Blocking print jobs is a policy control that directly prevents sending documents to printers, whether over the network or via USB. This kind of policy enforces a printing restriction at the source or print server, so attempts to print are prevented before any data leaves the device. It’s the best fit when the goal is to stop any printing activity to protect sensitive information or reduce data leakage. Quarantine focuses on isolating endpoints or files to prevent further access or spread, which isn’t about printing capabilities. Dictionary relates to rule sets or data used for filtering or password-related checks, not printing controls. Tombstone refers to records used to mark deletions in directories or databases and does not pertain to enforcing printer access restrictions.
