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.
Regards,
Gary

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
