Opening the Printer Status Window
The Printer Status Window opens automatically in the following cases:
When you print with the Microsoft Windows Printing System- unless you previously turned off the
Display Printer Status While Printing option (see page 68)
When the Microsoft Windows Printing System encounters an alert that requires your intervention before
you continue printing (see page 75)
If you are using Print Manager, you can open the Printer Status Window at any time from the Print
Manager window (see Using the Print Manager later in this chapter).You can also open the Printer Status
Window from the Microsoft Windows Printing System program group.
The Printer Status Window always opens the way you left it last, either full size or as an icon that
indicates the general condition of the printer (printing, idle, and so on).
Using the Printer Status Window as an Icon
You can make the Printer Status Window appear as an icon by selecting Minimize...from the File menu.
The icon tells you all you want to know about the print job.
Using the Microsoft Windows Printing System 65
