Lexmark T630 - FIFO printing?

[yerk55]

At my place of business, we have a TCP/IP networked Lexmark T630. All
the PC's are Windows 2K & XP. The users of this printer have
complained that the output of print jobs are inter-mingling. That is
say one large print job has random pages of someone else's smaller
print job mixed in with it.

Obviously we want a FIFO-type of print queue. I searched the manual
for this model but I could not find a solution at the printer level
configuration to resolve this.

Anyone know a remedy, either at the printer or the PC's to help with
this? TIA

What does your network admin say..?

It's a strange one, never heard of it before; do you have any other
network printers and do you get the problem on those..?

The users PC'c may not be sending the entire print job at one time or there
maybe delays in sending the data at certain points in the print job.

You may be able to adjust the printer to wait a little longer before it
thinks its done with the current job.

You can also check to see if under the advanced properties of the printer
you have Spool documents so program finishes printing faster is turned on
and Start printing after last page is spooled is also turned on.

This should make your computer spool the entire job and wait until the
entire job is ready before it is sent.
