3.4.5 USTATUS

USTATUS is generally not supported in AccXES printers. Currently, status information is obtained by
clients through requesting the information, rather than reading unsolicited packets such as would be
provided by this command. Other printer administration / job control mechanisms such as SNMP will
be used in AccXES printers to provided unsolicited status.
The primary reason that USTATUS is not supported is that this mechanism is very crude and does not
extend very well to networked environments. In particular, there is no method for addressing clients or
broadcasting to some set of clients.

3.4.6 USTATUSOFF

As above, this command is generally not implemented in AccXES printers.
