Managing Print Jobs

The monitoring interval also affects network traffic. Make the interval longer for printers at a greater distance on the network. See page 4-3 for instructions.

Monitoring printers beyond routers

When you monitor NetWare printers located beyond dial-up routers in a wide area network, you are likely to be charged for the line connection.

For example, if you set one or more hops for the NetWare network, the search packet travels beyond the routers. Even if there are no printers to be monitored beyond dial-up routers, it’s likely that the dial-up line will be used and you will be charged for it. If you don’t need to monitor printers beyond routers, set the number of hops to 0 during installation. To reset the number of hops, change your Status Monitor 2 settings as described on page 4-8.

About uninstalled network printers

The Uninstalled Network Printers menu shows network printers that don’t have drivers installed on a computer. This option lets network administrators monitor printers without loading drivers on their computers. If you have already installed Status Monitor 2 and want to add this option, see page 4-8.
