Managing Print Jobs on a
Macintosh

Your Macintosh printer software includes two print job
management utilities: Monitor3 and Status Monitor. It also
includes a Configuration utility for setting up print monitoring
options.

If you’re using background printing, Monitor3 starts
automatically when you send a job to the printer. It handles
printing while you continue to work on your Macintosh,
lets you track documents that are waiting to be printed, and
lets you set printing priorities for waiting print jobs.
