To prioritize print jobs

  1. If necessary, create two (or more) printers and share them.

  2. Open Printers and Faxes.

  3. Right-click a printer, and then click Properties.

  4. On the Advanced tab, in Priority, select a priority.

    Higher priority jobs will print before lower priority jobs. For example, a priority-1 job will print before a priority-2 job.

Notes

  • To open Printers and Faxes, click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes.
