# Enum Class PrinterJob.JobStatus

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<PrinterJob.JobStatus>
javafx.print.PrinterJob.JobStatus

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Comparable<PrinterJob.JobStatus>`, `Constable`

Enclosing class:
  `PrinterJob`

public static enum PrinterJob.JobStatus extends Enum<PrinterJob.JobStatus>
An enum class used in reporting status of a print job. Applications can listen to the job status via the `jobStatus` property, or may query it directly using `getJobStatus()`.

The typical life cycle of a job is as follows :

- job will be created with status `NOT_STARTED` and will stay there during configuration via dialogs etc.
- job will enter state `PRINTING` when the first page is printed.
- job will enter state `DONE` once the job is successfully completed without being cancelled or encountering an error. The job is now completed.
- A job that encounters an `ERROR` or is `CANCELED` is also considered completed.

A job may not revert to an earlier status in its life cycle and the current job state affects operations that may be performed. For example a job may not begin printing again if it has previously passed that state and entered any of the termination states.

Since:
  JavaFX 8.0
