HP Desktop Status
HP Desktop Status provides printer information to users and
administrators. Printer information includes printer status,
capabilities, and diagnostic information about the HP JetDirect
print server.
HP Desktop Status is accessed through a Taskbar icon that is
automatically added to the desktop when a new printer that uses
HP JetDirect Port is added to the
Printers
folder. The HP Desktop
Status icons change color (green, yellow, red) to represent the
HP JetDirect print server's current status. Administrators can get
extended status information or modify settings by clicking the
printer icon in the Taskbar. See the section “Accessing HP Desktop
Status” in this chapter for more information.
