This queue is similar to the other message queues, in that it shows the status of various tasks queued for processing. Unlike the other queues, the Print Queue is usually empty, as it hands off the actual processing of most reports almost immediately to the Report Server for actual printing.
The large box may contain none or many lines, which you may scroll through and highlight. Detail information is shown on the bottom of the dialog with a large scrolling screen showing specific detail about the selected print process.

Current Server Time - This shows the current time as the VT server knows it, so you can compare it to the times of the tasks shown in the queue. Assuming it is reasonably accurate, you can also use it to set your own clock or watch.
Message List - The message list shows all items for this display. Select any message to view more details about it on the lower portion of the dialog. For most messages, you will see when the message list was last updated, what the message or process is, which user and computer started the process, the percent complete, and the current status. The display can be sorted by any of the columns; just click the column header button. Click a header button again to invert the sort order.
