Windows "Out of Paper"Message
« on: January 30, 2008, 11:55:31 AM »
Does anyone know how to make the "Out of Paper" Message Popup sooner?  Currently it takes anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes before the message would appear stating that the printer is out of paper.

    Too many unknowns: version of Windows, what kind of printer, is the printer conntected directly to the PC or is there a printer server
    Why is this thus?  What is the reason for this thusness?

    Windows XP and the printer is directly connected to the PC.  Didn't know if there is a registry setting that can be changed so that it only trys a certain amount of times before displaying the "Out of Paper" Message.

    Those options would normally be found in the Options/Tools settings of the printer itself...not in Windows.
    Have you checked in the printer's documentation ?
