Printer Queue Monitoring

[wrgreenslade]

Hi,

We have some printer severs, which will store print jobs in a printer queue, then the job would be pinged to a device.

The issue we are finding is the HP print queue is sometimes hit with many jobs, which will cause that particular queue to block up and no jobs would be release to the device. The queue is listed in printers and devices.

Is there a way to monitor that certain queue when 'X' amount of jobs are in the queue and then alert if it's above a set threshold?

Thank you!

Have you checked the exchange for something that' will work for whatever OS the servers are running?
