Print Notification

[Ian McCulloch]

Can anyone explain why some printers will spit out notification that a job
was sucessfully printed and other will not?

On my windows server 2003 print server, under printers & faxes>server
properties>advanced tab, I have "Show informational notifications for
network printers" selected

It works for the most part except on a few older machines (say an IP based
HP LJ 4000)

Any thoughts or direction?

Is it a printer I/O setting or something with Windows?

My guess is that perhaps some printers have this feature in the OS /
Firmware capabilities of the printer. Firmware on the printer and
JetDirect up to date?

Will be hard - an older printer - maybe that is the issue

Have you used the HP Download Manager tool to get an idea of the
printers in the network? It's free, can audit the whole network for
JetDirect Model and Printer Firmware level. It's also smart enough to
be able to go and grab firmwares an auto-update for you.

Grab it here, it's free:
