Printer Monitoring And Logging
The NIC 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 NIC, two methods
are available:
• select the desired I/O port on the “Status” HTML form
(i.e., http://NICIPaddress/indexStatus.html; e.g.,
http://192.75.11.9/indexStatus.html) that comes
with the NIC.
• 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 7 describes some of the common
terms you may encounter.

idle There is no job queued for the NIC I/O port.
blocked The printer is not allowing the NIC to send data
to it. Check that there is not a printer error and it
is online and ready to go.
waiting The NIC knows about a print job but is waiting for
the host to send more data or to send an
expected packet.
