Dear Ed, The Windows spooler will service jobs as soon as they have spooled. You can test this by printing a large job and then once this has started spooling, print a small one. The small one will output first because it finished spooling first. Open the Properties for the queue and under the Advanced tab uncheck the option "Print spooled documents first" and this should disable this behaviour.

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 erb2000@xxxxxxxxx --- avast!
