Managing Print Queues
This section tells you how to perform day-to-day management of print queues.
Monitoring a Print Queue
Server Status lets you monitor all services on a Mac OS X server. The Queues pane lists the
queues for the print service and tells you the name or kind of printer, how many jobs are
pending, how the printer is shared, whether a job is printing, and, if so, the status of that job.
If you want to make changes to a print queue, use Server Settings.
To monitor a print queue:
1 In Server Status, locate the name of the server you want to monitor in the Devices & Services
list and select Print in the list of services under the server name.
If the services aren’t visible, click the arrow to the left of the server name.
2 Click the Queues tab to see the status of the print queues.
The table includes the name of the printer, type of print queue, number of jobs, sharing, and
status for each queue.
