Abstract

See full text

A method of printing a document, for example, on a recording medium of a printer selected by a user. Problematic information is retrieved about the printer in response to the printer being selected and before the print job is sent to the printer. The retrieved problematic information is also displayed to the user. In addition, the problematic information may be retrieved, for example, by transmitting Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) commands to the printer, if the computer is connected to the printer via a network, or by transmitting printer job language commands if the computer is connected to the printer via a parallel port.
