queue

I got a print server on our old printer. Vista has its own queue which presents a problem.

I want to bypass this queue and send everything straight away to the printer so the print server deals with the queue and not Vista.

Problem is when a second document is being printed from the same computer after first one. Vista is still waiting for info on finishing the first job even 5 minutes after it was REALLY finished.

How do I get it so that I can send straight to the print server and not have Vista slow things down by trying to handle the queue itself?
