A. Windows NT provides built in ability to monitor print queues fromthe command line using the NET PRINT command.

To view the current print queue use syntax

C:> net print \

For example:

C:>net print \LNPSPA0001LNPRTP0017

Printers at \LNPSPA0001


Name                         Job #      Size            Status

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     saviljo                   247       120            Printing
