User's Guide for MS-DOS Clients

Using Shared Printers

Viewing Printer Queues and Print Jobs

When you view a list of available printer queues, you can determine where

to send a print job, or you can monitor jobs that you sent to a particular

queue.

You cannot view the queue of an MS-DOS workstation running the

LAN Manager Print Station utility.

To view printer queues and their print jobs

1 Set the current focus on the server sharing the printer queue that you want to

view.

2 From the View menu, choose Printer queues.

The Print Queues on \\computername dialog box appears.

The Print Queues on \\computername dialog box displays the name, the number

of waiting print jobs, and the status of each queue on the server you speciﬁed.

Each print job is identiﬁed with a line containing the username, job number

(assigned by the server), size of the job (in bytes), and status of the job.

When the list box containing the information about printer queues is more than

one page long, scroll through the list to view its entire contents.

3 Choose the Done button.
