Network Printer Status Utility 
Windows
•Available on TCP/IP network connection only.
The Network Printer Status utility is available if your administrator has 
installed it. 
If the utility is installed, the printer driver Properties dialog box 
changes.
•a new Status tab is added.
•an Option button is added to the Device Option tab.
This utility allows you to view (but not change) the status of the 
following on the Status tab:
•paper trays installed and the media assigned to them.
•total size and percentage used of disk/memory.
•percentage of toner remaining.
 
Important!
If you select Automatic Status Update in the 
Status tab, the driver automatically pings the printer 
for the latest status information every time you open 
the Properties dialog box. 
This causes a significant delay until the Properties 
dialog box opens. 
To avoid this, use the Update Status button in the 
Status tab to manually update the information on 
demand.

NOTE
If the Automatic Status Check box is checked, this utility 
“pings” the printer every time you open the Printer Properties 
dialog in the printer driver. 
This severely slows opening Printer Properties.
