Workstation Not Showing Status w/Print Mgr Minimized on Server (94766)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q94766 SYMPTOMS
If the Print Manager is minimized on a Windows for Workgroups server that
is sharing a printer, the Print Manager on another workstation that sends
print jobs becomes idle as soon as the job is sent (not when the job is
finished printing). Usually, the Print Manager on the workstation would
display the current status of the print job and of the printer.
CAUSE
The Print Manager on the workstation checks and displays the network
printer status when it is first loaded; however, if the Print Manager on
the printer server is minimized, the network printer's status is not
updated.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, run the Print Manager on the server maximized
so that Windows for Workgroups workstations can monitor their print jobs.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups
versions 3.1 and 3.11.
