Enable spooler event logging.
Using the Properties Advanced property sheet on the server, you can perform the following tasks:
Enable spooler event logging.
Configure the print server to notify the client when a remote document has finished printing.
When spooler event logging is enabled, Advanced Server logs errors to the system log. To view the system log, run Event Viewer.
For more information about using Event Viewer, see Chapter 7, "Monitoring Events."
All direct management of shared printer queues and documents takes place through the Printers folder. Some queue management options control the entire print queue; others control a single document.
When managing the queue you can perform the following tasks:
View a list of documents for each installed printer.
Pause or resume printing.
When managing a document you can perform the following tasks:
Pause or resume printing.
Restart the document from the beginning.
Delete a document.
View, and optionally change, various document settings (such as the document priority and the person notified when the document is done). You can view — but not change — the form type, paper source, page orientation, and number of copies.
For information about managing queues, see "To view documents waiting to be printed" in Windows NT Help.
You also can use the Advanced Server net print command to manage queues and documents. For information, type net help print at the Advanced Server command prompt. .
You can manage a remote Advanced Server print server from any Windows NT client on the network as long as you have Full Control permission at that print server. When you select a printer from Network Neighborhood, you can manage printer properties and create new shared printer queues remotely.
Any network user can check on the status of a remote printer. However, only users who have Full Control or Manage Documents permission for a printer can manage documents other than their own. If you do not have the correct permission, some options are unavailable.
Tip
To access printers quickly that you administer frequently, create a folder on the desktop of your Windows NT or Windows 95 client computer. Create shortcuts to the printers you use by dragging the printer icon from the printer folder or from Network Neighborhood to the folder you created on your desktop.
