Information Pane

The Information pane displays detailed information of the most recently selected item in the active pane, such a selected printer, computer, print job, or event message. The information contained within this pane is grouped logically; for example, a print job event will have information about the job itself, the job's status, the user who executed the print job, and the printer the job was sent to.

You can change the information displayed in the Information pane by selecting an icon along the top edge of the pane. The following options are available:

  Displays detailed information about the selected printer, such as the printer port in use, the driver that is installed, and the model specifications.

  Displays detailed information about the event message, such as the computer and print job that generated the message.

  Displays detailed information about the selected inventory item.
