Viewing Status
Operators and administrators can view the status of a printer, workflow, or job.
- For a printer, status information includes whether it is enabled, the most recent message about the printer, and information returned by SNMP, such as the paper level in the input trays.
- For a workflow, status information includes whether it is enabled and the number of input files waiting.
- For a job, status information includes its progress category, state, and whether it
is in error. If it is unassigned, you can also see the wait reason details.
