The print queue can typically be accessed in one of two ways. If there are documents in the
print queue a printer icon is usually opened in the Quick Launch area of the task bar. Rolling
the cursor over the icon will show the number of documents pending for all the printers
connected to the computer. Double clicking on the icon will bring up a window like the one
shown below showing the print queue for all printers with jobs pending. The second way to
access the print queue is to click Start, then Printers and Faxes, then double click on the
printer whose print queue you want to open.
The print queue shows the documents that are waiting to be printed. For each item on the list,
information, such as the print status and the number of pages, is provided. The following table
