Use the Print Queue attributes to create situations that monitor the performance and operation of printers locally attached to a computer. Print Queue is a multiple-instance attribute group. You cannot mix these attributes with those of any other multiple-instance attribute group. Attribute values in this table are obtained from PerfMon. All attribute values are provided for printers locally attached to the computer. Network printers, file printers, and printers attached to remote print servers do not have all their values shown in the local computer's PerfMon database. For these printers, some metrics, such as Job Errors, Out of Paper Errors, Not Ready Errors, are reported as zero.
Add Network Printer Calls Total number of calls from other print servers to add shared network printers to this server since last restart. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.
Average Job Errors/Day Average number of job errors per day, where a day is a complete 24 hour period, since the system was last started. Calculated as Job Errors ÷ System Up Time Days. If the system has been running less than 1 day, this value is the same as Job Errors. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.
Average Not Ready Errors/Day Average number of not ready errors per day, where a day is a complete 24 hour period, since the system was last started. Calculated as Not Ready Errors ÷ System Up Time Days. If the system has been running less than 1 day, this value is the same as Not Ready Errors. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.
Average Out Of Paper Errors/Day Average number of out of paper errors per day, where a day is a complete 24 hour period, since the system was last started. Calculated as Out Of Paper Errors ÷ System Up Time Days. If the system has been running less than 1 day, this value is the same as Out Of Paper Errors. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.
