Abstract
A method and apparatus for adjusting an interval of polling a peripheral device (e.g., a printer) based on a change in the working status of the peripheral device. In one embodiment of the present invention, if the peripheral device being monitored is in the process of performing a job or has experienced an interrupt/alert, the length of the polling intervals may be shortened to provide increased monitoring of the peripheral device. If the peripheral device is idle, the length of the polling intervals may be longer to provide less monitoring of the peripheral device.
