Printer Monitoring And Logging
The Ethernet Interface 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 Ethernet Interface,
two methods are available:
• select the desired I/O port on the “Status” HTML form
(i.e., http://EthernetInterfaceIPaddress/
indexStatus.html ; e.g., http://192.75.11.9/
indexStatus.html ) that comes with the Ethernet Interface.
• 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 13 describes some of the common
terms you may encounter.
Table 13. Key Printer Logging Terms
Term Description
idle There is no job queued for the Ethernet Interface
I/O port.
blocked The printer is not allowing the Ethernet Interface
to send data to it. Check that there is not a printer
error and it is online and ready to go.
waiting The Ethernet Interface knows about a print job
but is waiting for the host to send more data or to
send an expected packet.
