When I am managing my printer from the web interface and I look under REPORTS then EVENT LOGS I see I have a bunch of different event numbers such as 74899 and for every event number it simply says under description PRINTER EVENT. How do I find out what these codes mean?
If I have posted this in the wrong forum, please direct me to the appropriate one.
Thanks!

@DT_Net Are these errors causing the printer or the computer to malfunction or stop working in anyway? If not, there's nothing to worry about, the event ID captures every minute details such as disconnection or turning off the device or even changing the settings as an error and is mostly insignificant, that said, if you have any issues as such, please do explain the same, so we can work on fixing it, accordingly.
