Printer Status Monitor with Bi-directional Parallel Interface
The printer driver can monitor your printer’s status using bi-

The program can show the current status of your printer. When
printing, the animated dialog box appears on your computer screen to
show the current printing process. If an error occurs, a dialog box will
appear to let you know what to correct. For example: when your
printer is out of paper, the dialog box will display “Paper Empty” and
instructions for the corrective action to take.
