Monitoring printing

If you are using background printing, you can use the desktop printer features to monitor and control the documents that are waiting to print.

1 Double-click the desktop printer icon you’re interested in.

A window opens listing the documents that are printing or waiting to print:

Select a document that’s on hold and click the Resume Job button to resume printing.

Select a document and click the Hold Job button to put a print request on hold.

Select a document and click the Set Print Time button to specify when the document

should be printed.

Select a document and click the Remove button to cancel the print request.

Documents waiting to print

Watching the status messages can be helpful when troubleshooting printing problems. When more than one job is waiting to be printed, a list of print jobs appears in the waiting list, showing the order in which they will be printed (when sorted by print time.)

2Choose what you’d like to do.

m To cancel a print request, select it by clicking its title or icon and click the Remove button. You can only select the currently printing document by clicking its title. (You can select more than one item at a time by holding down the Shift key while clicking.) You can also drag the icon for the print request to the Trash. Note that these methods delete only the print request (also referred to as a spool file), not the document itself.
