|---|---|---|
| REG_MULTI_SZ | Print providers | LanMan Print Services Internet Print Provider |
Specifies the order in which print providers are used.
The local spooler is queried first, but if it is busy or not operating, remote print providers are queried in the order specified by the value of this entry.
Tip
Consider changing this value if one print provider is known to be more reliable or available more frequently than others. Specifying a successful print provider can prevent print jobs from timing out.
