tasks.
•
Check the status.
•
Change printers.
•
Access the Print Queue.
•
Connect or Disconnect.
Connection Manager icons
The Connection Manager has a number of icons to tell you the status of the print server. The three common ones are
described below.
Cancel a print job
Use the
Print Queue
to cancel or pause a print job. If you get a message that the print job has failed, you should cancel
the job to delete it from the print queue.

Change printers
If you have more than one printer using a USB print server on your network, you can change the printer that your
computer is connected to.
