Requesting a printer’s status
Before you send a print job to a printer, you may want to make sure that the printer
is available. You can get a printer’s status in the form of email messages from the
printer.
1.
Start the Destination Manager.
2.
Double-click the printer on which you want a status report.
3.
In the resulting dialog box, click Get Status. This causes an email message
to be sent to the email address you specified when you installed the
PhaserLink Printing Software.
