Debugging Using CUPS Print Server

It is highly recommended to use a CUPS printer server. Using a print server will make it easier to diagnose issues since you can view the status of the printer and printer jobs.

1. Log into the printer server host.
2. Click the Printers tab.

   You will see a list of CUPS printers and ancillary information. Look for the “Status”.

3. Click on your printer in the queue Name column.
4. Click Show Active Jobs.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and you should see a job “spooling”.

If your job spools it is in the printer queue which indicates that your job has been recognized and is being processed.
