You are the lead computer support person at the Acme Company. Your job responsibilities
include training level-one support technicians in troubleshooting problems. Your manager has
tasked you with creating a process flowchart to solve basic printing problems for a networked
Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP M880z. This flowchart will help your
level-one technicians learn how to troubleshoot printer problems more effectively.
Create a flowchart with a least six basics steps that will aid in troubleshooting when a user calls
the help desk to report that they cannot print a document.
Your manager also asked for a written report to accompany the flowchart, which should address
the information below.
State the problem.
Define how you determined the flowchart steps to solve the printer problem.
Explain how the technicians will access the flowchart (e.g., paper document, online, server).
Describe how the flowchart can be kept up-to-date, how often the document will be reviewed,
and what the review process will look like. Also, explain why it is important to maintain the
document.
Summarize what you learned while creating a troubleshooting flowchart.
Explain the purpose of a network printer security policy, outline two best practices that can be
used to protect access to a network printer, and briefly describe how printer access restrictions
might impact your troubleshooting flowchart.
Your paper should be a minimum of three pages in length, not counting the title page and
references page. You must also include the flowchart diagram in your submission. You are
required to use at least two outside sources for this assignment, one of which may be the
textbook. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted
