Hello,

We have a print server and I noticed an offline printer.   It’s not in error, just offline so the Stuck Print Jobs will not alert.   Any ideas on how to alert with just an offline printer?

Thanks

If this is a Windows device the Win32_Printer WMI class I think will tell you this.  You would just need to create a new Datasource using WMI as the Collector method.

Yep, looks like PrinterStatus is your property.
