Printer Timing


This value determines how long the port thread waits before giving up, pausing
the current print job, and moving to the next print job.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print
Name:
FastPrintWaitTimeout
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 24,000 msecs default 4mins

FastPrintThrottleTimeout type REG_DWORD Range:
Milliseconds, Default: 2,000 (2 seconds) When JobPrintsWhilstSpooling is enabled, some printers pause if
they don’t receive data for a timeout period (usually 15 seconds for a
Postscript printer). To counteract this, the spooler throttles back on data sent
to the printer when FastPrintSlowDownThreshold is reached. At that point,
FastPrintThrottleTimeout causes 1 byte per defined period to be sent to
the printer until the threshold defined by FastPrintSlowDownTheshold is exceeded.

FastPrintSlowDownThreshold type REG_DWORD Range:
Milliseconds, Default: FastPrintWaitTimeout divided by
FastPrintThrottleTimeout

NetPrinterDecayPeriod type REG_DWORD Range:
Milliseconds, Default: 3,600,000 (1 hour) Specifies how long to cache a network
printer. The cache is used to present the list of printers to the browser.

PortThreadPriority type REG_DWORD Default: 0 Allows
you to set the priority of the port threads. These are the threads that send the
output to the printers. Valid values are:
0 (Normal)
1 (Above
normal)
0xFFFFFFFF (Below normal)

SchedulerThreadPriority type REG_DWORD Default: 0 The
priority of a thread determines the order in which it is scheduled to run on the
processor. Valid values are:
0 (Normal)
1 (Above normal)
0xFFFFFFFF
(Below normal)

SpoolerPriority type REG_DWORD
Default: 0 Sets the priority class for the print spooler. Valid values are:
0
(Normal)
1 (Above normal)
0xFFFFFFFF (Below normal)
