DESCRIPTION
The Print Viewer program provides a graphical interface that
displays the status of print queues and print jobs.
Additional information about print queues or print jobs can
be retrieved within the interface, individual print queue
labels and icons can be customized, and individual print
jobs can be canceled. Print jobs can be submitted by
dragging files, text, or attachments from other CDE programs
and dropping them on a print queue icon in a Print Viewer
window.
