Printing
The Printing section provides visibility into the server's connected printers and the print jobs that have been sent through B2Win Suite. Use it to monitor printing activity, investigate failed jobs, and verify which printers are available to the system.
Accessing the Printing Section
Navigate to Configuration → Printing.
Print Jobs
The Jobs tab lists all print jobs processed by B2Win Suite, with details including:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Job ID | Unique identifier for the print job |
| Document Name | Name of the document that was printed |
| Printer | The printer the job was sent to |
| Status | Current status of the job (completed, pending, failed) |
| Created | Date and time the job was submitted |
| User | The user who initiated the print job |
Use this view to track which documents have been printed, identify stuck or failed jobs, and audit printing activity.
Server Printers
The Printers tab lists all printers connected to and accessible by the B2Win Suite server.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Printer Name | The system name of the printer |
| Status | Current availability status |
| Location | Physical or logical location description (if set) |
Only printers installed and accessible on the B2Win Suite server are listed here. Client-side printers (connected to a user's workstation) are not visible in this view.
Notes
- Print jobs are submitted through B2Output's distribution system. To configure document printing workflows, see the B2Output documentation.
- If a printer does not appear in the list, verify it is installed and accessible on the server and that the B2Win Suite application has permission to use it.
- Historical print jobs are retained in the list for audit purposes. The retention period depends on your system's cleanup configuration.
