[WinPrnDev] AW: Windows LPR and Spool File Order

I would tell the customer:

It might be that the spooler is handling simultaneous jobs or sending 
simultaneous jobs. The device willl do what it is supposed to do and start 
printing jobs, first one received cometely is printed first. This is the 
correct impementation. Imagine a long-running process opening the spooler 
first, then sending bits of print data over the next couple of hours. No other 
job could print until the first one completes...

Best regards,
    Jens

Betreff: [WinPrnDev] Windows LPR and Spool File Order

Hi,

Does Windows offer a mechanism to preserve the order of spool files in a
Windows printer driver queue when transmitting the files to the ultimate
destination via LPR?

What a customer is reporting to me is that smaller spool files are sometimes
processed and sent in front of larger spool files that are going through
their LPR preparation process.

The Windows operating system in this case is Windows Server 2008 and the
Windows driver is for a Kodak Digimaster 150.

Thanks.

Best Regards,

/Paul
