HP Jetadmin Software for OS/2 manual Accessing HP Desktop Status

Accessing HP Desktop Status

There are several ways to get the status of a printer on the network:

●Through the HP JetAdmin software

●By opening a printer or viewing printer properties in the Printers folder

●By using a printer icon in the Taskbar

Note	The icon and printer properties methods are only
	available if the HP Desktop Status component is
	installed and running.

The icon gives a simple indication of printer status by displaying a small printer icon in the Taskbar. The icon is green if the printer is ready, yellow if there is a warning condition (such as toner low), or red if there is an error condition (such as the printer is out of paper).

You can also access Summary and Properties information by right-clicking on the desired printer icon and selecting the appropriate menu item. Note that tool tips are also implemented. (If you move the cursor over a tray icon and leave it there for a few seconds, the name of the printer pops up.)

Status, capabilities, and diagnostic information are available by right-clicking the printer in the Printers folder, and then clicking Properties.
