A printing system has one or more printers connected to a computer system. The computer system has a display (20) for presenting to a user status information (124,125,126,130,131) regarding one or more print jobs (24,25,26) at least one of which (24,26) is split into a plurality of parts (30,31). The parts of the print job are sent to one or more of the printers for printing, and status information (124,125,126,130,131) regarding the print job is displayed on the display. The status information comprises a master status control indicator (124,125,126) for each print job (24,25,26) and a plurality of sub-status control indicators (130,131), one for each of the parts (30,31) of the corresponding print job (24), so that a user of the printing system can control both the overall status of the print job (24,25,26) and the status of each of the parts (30,31) of the corresponding print job (24).
