Printer Status Management
Monitor and manage your printer states in the queue
Printer Status Types
Each printer can be in one of the following states:
Ready / Idle
The printer is powered on, connected, and ready to accept new print jobs. If there are jobs in the queue, the next one will start automatically.
Printing
The printer is actively printing a job. The progress bar shows completion percentage, and estimated time remaining is displayed.
Paused
The current print has been paused. This can be triggered manually or automatically (e.g., filament runout detected). Resume or cancel from the job menu.
Maintenance
The printer is marked for maintenance. Jobs will not be automatically started. Use this when performing cleaning, calibration, or repairs.
Offline
The printer is not connected or powered off. Check your printer connection and power supply.
Changing Printer Status
To change a printer's status:
- Find the printer card in the Print Queue
- Click the status indicator or the "..." menu
- Select "Change Status"
- Choose the new status from the dropdown
- Add an optional note explaining the change
Note: Setting a printer to Maintenance will not cancel any active print job. Make sure to complete or cancel the current job first.
Auto-Start Feature
When a printer becomes ready (idle), the queue can automatically start the next job:
Auto-Start Settings
- •Enabled: Next job starts automatically when printer becomes ready
- •Disabled: Jobs must be manually started from the queue
Toggle auto-start from the printer card's settings menu. This setting is saved per-printer.
