<P class="western">TurboPrint's printer monitor gives you detailed
 information about your printer, e.g. the printer status (&ldquo;idle&ldquo; /
 &ldquo;printing&rdquo; / &ldquo;paper out&rdquo;), the remaining ink levels,
 information about the current print job (print settings and an optional
 preview), a list of all remaining print jobs and even information on
 the ink consumption.</P>

<P class="western">
<!--span style=&quot;font-weight: normal&quot;-->
To every installed printer one or more print queues are assigned. The
 drop-down list &ldquo;Queue&rdquo; shows all installed printers with their print
 queues. Select the print queue that you want to have monitored.</P>
<P class="western">Even printers with non-TurboPrint drivers and network
 printers are listed. However, for technical reasons, not all status
 information will be available for those printers.</P>

<P class="western"><B>Print queue
 state</B></P>
<P class="western" style="font-weight: normal">Next to the &ldquo;Queue&rdquo;
 drop-down list you find two buttons that show and control the state of
 the selected printer queue. The first button changes the general state
 (&ldquo;Idle&quot; / &quot;Printing&rdquo; / &ldquo;Stopped&rdquo;), the
 second one determines if new print jobs will be accepted.</P>
<P class="western">By clicking the buttons, you can change the print
 queue state. Depending on your Linux distribution, you might need to
 authorize this by entering the administrator password of the CUPS
 printing system.</P>
<P class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">The first queue state
 button controls if the print queue is activated. It can show one of the
 three following states:</P>

<P class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Pressing the button in the
 &ldquo;Printing&rdquo; state changes the state to &ldquo;Stopped&rdquo; and cancels the current
 printout. The document will be printed again from start after changing
 the state back to active (&ldquo;Idle&rdquo; or &ldquo;Printing&rdquo;).</P>
<P class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">
</P>
<P class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm">The second queue state
 button divides if new print jobs will be accepted. Two states are
 possible:</P>

 Depending on your Linux system, you might need to authorize changing
 the print queue state by entering an administrator name and password of
 the CUPS printing system.</P>
<P class="western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm">
<!--span style=&quot;font-weight: normal&quot;-->
CUPS administrators might have to be set up first in the CUPS printing
 system &ndash; your Linux user password might not be accepted. Read more
 about CUPS administrators in the documentation of your Linux
 distribution or the CUPS printing system (headword &ldquo;lppasswd&rdquo;)</P>

the printer should be connected via USB interface. Also make sure that
 the printer is set up with the TP-USB backend driver &ndash; otherwise

 Jobs</B></P>
<P class="western">TurboPrint enables you to preview every page on the
 screen before sending it to the printer. Thus you can check if the page
 was rendered correctly and decide if it shall actually be printed.
 Especially when printing from web browsers printouts often look very
 different from what you expected. With the preview function you can
 avoid misprints and save paper and ink.</P>
<P class="western">Activate the preview function with the &ldquo;Print
 Preview&rdquo; checkbox of TurboPrint Printer Monitor.</P>
 <P ALIGN="CENTER" STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm"><IMG align="left" height="37%" hspace="19" name="Grafik29" src="window_printpreview.png"

<BR clear="left">
<P class="western">After a print job has been started, a preview of
 every page is presented on the screen. Select &ldquo;Print Page&rdquo; to have this
 page printed or &ldquo;Skip&rdquo; to omit it. Pressing &ldquo;Print All&rdquo; continues
 printing without previewing any further pages of the current job.
 Pressing &ldquo;Abort&rdquo; cancels the current print job.</P>
<P class="western" style="margin-left: 1.25cm"><B>Note</B>: You can
 enlarge the preview window with the mouse to get a more detailed view
 of the page.</P>
