The Status page of the Printer Toolbox tracks communication between the Select
printer and its printer driver. The Printer Toolbox icon is located in the lower right
corner of the Windows desktop (see Figure 3-7).

you exited the Printer Toolbox, it starts again after a card is printed or after the
Properties, Printing Preferences, or Default Document Properties dialog box is
opened.
The Printer icon shows the state of communication between the printer and driver,
listed in the table below.
