Hi Ed,
MS operating systems have a hard coded class of service rule regarding the
use of RAW formatted spool files. Where long ago Windows was an application
that ran on top of a DOS kernel, Microsoft added a hard coded rule into
their OS products that spool files formatted as RAW (already in the correct
form for the target printer) would be processed ahead of spool files in the
EMF format, which needed to be converted by the selected Windows printer
driver before they could be transmitted to the target printer itself.
If your customer uses any Windows applications that create RAW formatted
spool files (example: Print Sessions of Terminal Emulator programs), this
can cause the spool file order to be changed.
Best Regards,
/Paul

Subject: [WinPrnDev] Spooled jobs printing out of order
Hello Windows Printer Driver list,
I have a problem and I doubt it is a printer driver issue, but I thought I'd
ask anyway. My customer says that their print jobs are not always printing
in order. How is this possible? Don't they print in the order in which
they are received into the printer queue? I know the applications is
queueing the jobs sequentially, one after they other. How can I ensure that
they print out in that same order?
Thanks,
-Ed Baker
