4 Managing Print Jobs

Note:

You can use Status Monitor 2 only if it is installed and your printer is connected directly to the computer or connected 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, set up large jobs to print later, and handle network printing.
