Problem Solution(s) Description of Solution(s)
I don’t want Job Status
and Alerts to track job
status on any of my
printers, but I do want to
use the Device Status
feature.
Select the Options Icon,
and then select the Next
button so that the
Refresh Rate option is
displayed in the right
panel. Move the slider
to the far left, pointing at
Never.
Setting the refresh rate option to
Never will disable all print job
tracking, but it will still allow the
user to select one of the printer
icons to get device status.
In the event that the administrator
has hidden the refresh rate option
and the user cannot see this
option complete the following
steps:
1. Choose the Start | Run menu
and type in notepad.
2. When notepad opens, choose
the File | Open menu and
browse to the windows
directory, and select the file
HPSTATUS.INI.
3. In the HPSTATUS.INI file,
locate the [refreshrate] section,
and set the allprinters entry
equal to 0.
4. Save the file and exit notepad.
5. The change will take effect for
the next print job.
