ABSTRACT:
A feedback component which adds on to a spooler and utilizes the spooler's connectivity with the network clients for communications. The network clients connect to the feedback component through the spooler's application programming interface (API) by making a request to register for feedback. Once the request is received, the feedback component continuously provides the network components with status of jobs in readable text and codes as the jobs progress in the underlying printing system. These status messages are not limited to just print status messages like printing, paused, printed, etc., but may include customized status messages for any device in the printing system such as scheduled, dialing, sending-fax, etc. In addition, a time delay may be introduced between messages in order to prevent excessive traffic being sent during times of heavy traffic.
