The key *should* be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\<wbr />CurrentCon<wbr />trolSet\Co<wbr />ntrol\Prin<wbr />t\Printer\<wbr />Your_Print<wbr />er\DsSpool<wbr />er . Changing the value of printSpooling from &quot;PrintWhileSpooling&quot; to &quot;PrintAfterSpooled&quot; should do the trick.<br />
<br />
However, when I checked on my PC, this is not consistently applied: for some printers the setting is correct, for others it is not. A search on M$'s knowledgebase gave no further clues.

Thanks, but I don't think my Ricoh drivers recognise this as a valid value. - the visible diplay in printer properties still shows as 'start printing immediately' and it doesnt seem to chage the way prints are spooled.<br />
Strange there doesnt seem to be any docco on technet about this

You're right, when I changed the setting for a printer, the registry did not change at all. I feel that M$, in their wisdom, decided to ignore the registry for this. Funny that, unlike so much other junk that is put in the registry, this one actually has a good reason for being there!

Excellent thanks, that worked. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
All my Ricoh printers the attribute is actually 850 on all of them. Changing it to 1 resulted in the driver going offline, but setting to 851 did the trick<br />
<br />
Thanks

Hello,<br />
My customer has asked me to change the print spool setting from 'start printing immediately' to - 'start printing after last page is spooled' on all client pc<br />
The print infrastrucure is Novell NDPS / Iprint over LPR direct to printers. - this setting is local to the workstation though. I need some way to push the change to client pc but I cant find where this exists in the registry.<br />
the key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControl<wbr />Set\Contro<wbr />l\Print\Pr<wbr />inters\,,&lt;<wbr />printer&gt;Ds<wbr />Spooler\pr<wbr />intspoolin<wbr />g has a value 'printwhilespooling' or 'printdirect' &nbsp;which changes if I turn spooling off / on. &nbsp;but the two sub options under spool documents (after last page or print immediate) dont seem to make any change to the reg when toggled<br />
<br />
thanks

How do I change the print spooler to 'start printing after last page is spooled' by registry

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
