Job Status and Alerts
The HP LaserJet 8150 Printing System software includes a new utility called Job Status
and Alerts that lets you monitor print jobs and printer status from the desktop. Job Status
and Alerts is a selectable component of custom installation. To install Job Status and
Alerts, choose the Custom Installation and select the appropriate check box.
NOTE: These features are available only for printers connected
to a network. Parallel and universal serial bus (USB)
connections do not support Job Status and Alerts.
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 do not support Job
Status and Alerts with Terminal Server.
On Windows 95, Internet Explorer 3.0 or lower does not
support printer status.
Unlike HP Toolbox, HP Job Status and Alerts only polls
the printer during an active print job to minimize network
traffic.
When the Job Status and Alerts feature is installed, a status icon in the form of a printer
is included in the Windows system tray. The printer icon remains unchanged until you
send a print job to the HP LaserJet 8150 printer. When you send a print job, the icon
changes to alert you to the status of the print job. Nine icons exist in this feature. These
eight show current printer status.
