Ringtone, voice, and sound notification of printer status

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, wherein the program instructs a microprocessor to perform the method steps of:

• upon a print module detecting an event, the print module generating an event data block containing information about the event, which event data block is sent by an events controller to a user interface manager;
• upon determination by the user interface manager to generate an audible report for the event based on the event data block containing information about the event, the user interface manager causes an action by an audio manager of obtaining at least one status information data of a printer, which at least one status information data comprising user identification information of at least one print job processed by the printer, which user identification information comprising job owner information associated with the at least one print job;
• converting the at least one status information data into an audible report comprising a unique ringtone melody, wherein each note in the ringtone melody is determined based on the user identification information comprising job owner information;
• and
• notifying a user by delivering the audible report.

A computing system for notifying a printer status, comprising:

• a printer comprising a print engine;
• a computer connected to the printer, comprising a memory having instructions for:
• upon a print module detecting an event, the print module generating an event data block containing information about the event, which event data block is sent by an events controller to a user interface manager;
• upon determination by the user interface manager to generate an audible report for the event based on the event data block containing information about the event, the user interface manager causes an action by an audio manager of obtaining at least one status information data of a printer, which at least one status information data comprising user identification information of at least one print job processed by the printer, which user identification information comprising job owner information associated with the at least one print job;
• converting the at least one status information data into an audible report comprising a unique ringtone melody, wherein each note in the ringtone melody is determined based on the user identification information comprising job owner information;
• and
• notifying a user by delivering the audible report;
• and a processor for executing the instructions.
