Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for visual timelines for printer management of a print system. One embodiment includes a printer terminal device that receives printer statuses of the first printer and the second printer, and displays a GUI that includes a first visual timeline of printer statuses at the first printer and a second visual timeline of printer statuses at the second printer. The GUI also includes a line at a location of user interaction, the line extending across the first visual timeline and the second visual timeline to indicate a historical point of time. The printer terminal device retrieves event data of one or more print jobs of the first printer and the second printer based on the historical point of time, and displays at the GUI the event data along with the line to visually indicate context for a user entering the description for the printer status.
