Printer Status (prStatus)


Displays the current status of a printer. The value is based on the state of the worst printer parameter, as follows:

  • If any of the printer parameters are in ALARM condition, value = 3.
  • If any of the printer parameters are in a WARN condition, value = 2.
  • If an unexpected result is encountered, value = 1.
  • If no problems are encountered, value = 0.

Note

The Printer Status attribute in BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management is referred as the prStatus parameter in BMC PATROL.
