SUMMARY
In Windows for Workgroups, Print Manager notifies the user of printing errors differently than in earlier versions of Windows.



MORE INFORMATION
Most errors, such as &quot;printer out of paper,&quot; no longer are displayed in a dialog box. This is so print spooling doesn't halt. Instead of a dialog box, the print queue is marked as being in an &quot;error state.&quot; A descriptive error message displays in the Print Manager status bar. When the error is corrected, the print queue can be restarted by choosing Resume Printing Document from the Document menu.

The options for error notification in the Background Printing dialog box refer to driver specific situations such as a plotter requiring a pen change. These messages are displayed as configured in the dialog box.
