Print Jobs

Note:

You can use Status Monitor 2 only if you installed it when you installed your printer software, and your printer is connected directly to the computer or to a remote server in a Windows 95 network.

Your printer software includes several utilities for managing print jobs. You can use them to monitor your printer’s status and check on the current print job or jobs waiting to print.
