Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the health of printers. This Knowledge Script checks the number of jobs in printer queue and the size of the printer queue in KB. If either the number of jobs waiting or the queue size exceeds the threshold you set, AppManager raises an event.
NOTE:General printer status information, such as when the printer is taken off-line or is low on toner, cannot be detected by this Knowledge Script.

|---|---|
|
Event if printer queue exceeds the threshold? (y/n) |
Set to y to raise an event if the number of jobs in the printer queue exceeds the threshold. The default is y. |
|
Event if printer queue size (KB) exceeds the threshold? (y/n) |
Set to y to raise an event if the size of the printer queue, in KB, exceeds the threshold. The default is y. |
