The status polling process runs as an NT Service. It can be found by viewing
Services from the Control Panel.
To check printer status before the next scheduled poll, highlight the target printer
and right-click the mouse, accessing the printer right-click menu. Select Check
Status from the menu and PrinterMap performs an immediate status check for the
target printer. PrinterMap updates printer’s status and if necessary logs any
alarms.
NOTE:
PrinterMap services write printer information to the hard drive
during polling operations. Norton Speed Disk and other disk
defragmenting tools may have difficulty operating during hard drive
updates. If this occurs, temporarily stop the Reporting and Status
services until defragmenting is completed.
Icon Colors
In the Topology window, each printer is represented by an icon. The icon color
indicates the status of the printer. The PrinterMap topology can be a patchwork of
Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue, depending on the status of individual printers.
If the status of a printer changes from one polling period to the next, the screen
icon color changes to reflect the new status. The colors used are listed in the table
