Querying the status of a print queue (basic mode)

If a data set did not successfully print and a data-set entry still remains on the transmission queue, you might want to query the status of the printer's queue. You can query the status of the printer's queue only if IP PrintWay™ used the LPR protocol to transmit the data set to the printer.

To query the status of the printer's queue:

1. List entries for the printer you want to query, as described in Listing transmission-queue entries (basic mode).

   _______________________________________________________

2. On the IP PrintWay Transmission Queue panel, type S (for short queue status) or L (for long queue status) in the Action column in front of the queue entry for the data set, and press Enter.

Results:

• If IP PrintWay was able to establish a connection with the printer:

  Queue State for
     PASS
  On remote host:
     9.99.176.81
   
  2 entries
  0 - port busy. No info
   

• If IP PrintWay was not able to establish a connection with the printer:
