GUIDE TO SUBMITTING JOBS FROM THE CLIENT
Client workstations display fault messages and other information,
such as the status of feeder trays and output bins. If properly
configured, the workstations may be able to display job status, as
described in the following list.
•
To determine the status of jobs submitted using the lpr
command, you must issue an lpq command at the command
line. With some UNIX systems jobs can be submitted using the
lp command and status can be determined using the lpstat
command. Some application software packages may provide a
simplified means of obtaining job status, perhaps using icons.
Job status is also available by establishing a telnet connection
to the Printer Controller to access the user interface from your
workstation. Printer and additional status information is also
available. See "Using remote access" in the Guide to
Configuring and Managing the System for more information.
The job status command (lpq) is available at client workstations
unless your TCP/IP network communications utilities do not
support it.
•
Xerox Client Software provides commands for listing the status
of the job (listjob) and for listing the queue (listq). These
commands are available for jobs submitted using Xerox Client
Software.
•
AppleTalk provides job status information at the client
workstation through the print monitor function. Workstation
users can also determine the status of a queue.
The following table describes the job status capabilities of the various
workstations.
