Cannot Change Order of First Print Job in WFWG

ID: Q90332

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

When you print from Windows for Workgroups, Print Manager does not allow you to reorder the first job in the print queue. When Print Manager receives a print job, it begins to process it immediately, even if the printer queue has been paused. This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

To change the order of print jobs other than the first, use either of the procedures below:

In Print Manager, select the print job you want to reorder. Then, from the Document menu, choose Move Document Up or Move Document Down.

-or-

Select the print job, then choose the Move Document Up or Move Document Down button on the Print Manager toolbar.

You can only move documents up and down on a printer that is connected to your computer. If the printer you are using is not connected to your machine, you can only move a print job down.

NOTE: The "Changing Document Order" section of Program Manager Help describes how to use the keyboard to change document print order. Using the CTRL+UP ARROW and CTRL+DOWN ARROW key combinations does not allow you to change the order in which the documents print.
