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...

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.
