Windows NT 4.0 servers and workstations include a messenger service to alert you to printer errors or let you know when a print job is finished. If you have appropriate network access privileges or you’re controlling printing from the server, you can also set other options. See your Windows NT documentation for details.

Managing Print Jobs in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0

Your printer software offers three ways to manage and monitor your print jobs:

Progress Meter, which appears each time you send a print job, as described in Checking Printer Status. You can turn the Progress Meter on or off and select other printing options using the Speed & Progress button; see Selecting the Speed & Progress Options for details.

Spool Manager (not available with Windows NT), which appears in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen each time you print, as described in Using the Spool Manager.
