CANCELING A DOCUMENT

4. By default, Windows XP Professional enters which of the following user accounts

in the Notify text box of a document?

a. Administrator

b. Owner of the printer

c. All users with the Manage Documents permissions

d. Person who printed the document

Lesson Summary

■

Managing documents includes pausing, resuming, restarting, and canceling docu-

ments. You must have the Manage Documents permission for the appropriate

printer to perform these document-management tasks. The creator of a document

has the default permissions to manage that document, so users can perform any of

these actions on their own documents.

■

In the Notify text box for a document, you can set who is notified when the print

job is finished. Setting the document priority allows a critical document to print

before other documents. Setting a specific time for a document to print allows

large documents to print only during off-hours, such as late at night.

Lesson 4: Administering Printers by Using a Web Browser

You can use Windows XP Professional to manage printers from any computer running

a Web browser, regardless of whether the computer is running Windows XP Profes-

sional or has the correct printer driver installed. To access a printer using a Web

browser, a print server running Windows 2000 Server or Windows XP Professional

must have Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) installed. All management tasks

that you perform with Windows XP Professional management tools are the same when

you use a Web browser. The only difference in administering with a Web browser is

the interface, which is a Web-based interface.

fessional.”

The Advantages of Using a Web Browser to Manage Printers

The following are the advantages of using a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet

Explorer, to manage printers:

■

You can administer printers from any computer with a Web browser, regardless of

whether the computer is running Windows XP Professional or has the correct

printer driver installed.

■

You can customize the Web interface. For example, you can create your own Web

page containing a floor plan with the locations of the printers and the links to the

printers.

■

You can view a summary page that lists the status of all printers on a print server.

■

You can view real-time print device data, such as whether the print device is in

power-saving mode, if the printer driver makes such information available. This

information is not available in the Printers And Faxes window.

How to Access Printers Using a Web Browser

You can access all printers on a print server by using a Web browser or you can use

any of the windows or folders within the Windows XP Professional interface that has

an address bar, such as the Printers And Faxes window or Internet Explorer. In the
