Printer Monitoring And Logging

The NIC allows you to monitor printer status and log information
through its built-in HTML forms, command set, and logpaths.

Printer And Print Job Monitoring

To view the current status of an I/O port on the NIC, two methods
are available:

select the desired I/O port on the “Status” HTML form
(i.e., http://NICIPaddress/indexStatus.html; e.g.,

http://192.75.11.9/indexStatus.html

) that comes

with the NIC.

enter the lpstat command directly on the print server once
logged in as guest or root.

In each case, you are given a description of each I/O port status
and a list of queued jobs. Table 7 describes some of the common
terms you may encounter.

blocked

to it. Check that there is not a printer error and it
is online and ready to go.

the host to send more data or to send an
expected packet.
