What happens when you attempt to print to a phantom print device?

Explanation:

When you attempt to print to a phantom print device, an error message will typically be displayed. A phantom print device is a printer that is listed in the system's printer options but is not actually connected or does not exist. Since the computer cannot communicate with a non-existing printer, the print job cannot proceed, and the system will generate an error message to inform the user that the printing action cannot be completed as requested.

This situation can occur when a printer has been removed or is no longer connected to the network but its configuration remains in the operating system's list of available printers. To avoid encountering such errors, it's important to remove any phantom printers from your system.
