Apple 2500 manual Monitoring and controlling background printing

Monitoring and controlling background printing

If you are using background printing, you can use the desktop printer features to monitor and control your print requests. To learn how to turn background printing on and off, see “Printing While You Use Your Computer,” earlier in this chapter.

To monitor or control a print request, follow these steps:

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

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

Column titles (click to sort)

The document that’s currently printing

Documents waiting to print

About print requests to shared printers: If you use ColorShare to print a document on a printer that is not directly connected to your computer, your print request will be visible in this window for only a few moments. Then the print request moves to the desktop printer on the computer that is directly connected to the printer.

2Decide what you’d like to do.

m To delete a print request, select its title or icon (by clicking it), then click the Remove button. (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, not the document itself.
