When I open the Windows Printer and Faxes panel and cancel all the print
jobs for a printer, there is a delay of about 90 seconds while status shows
"deleting" then the jobs disappear from the list. This is for a local
printer which is offline and so never received a single byte.
I can delete all jobs with this code, and get the same 90 second delay:
if not SetPrinter( FHandle, 0, nil, PRINTER_CONTROL_PURGE ) then begin
RaiseLastWin32Error;
end;
Does anyone know how to reduce the 90 sec delay, perhaps through a registry
or printer setting or API? I recall similar delays on Win95 thru XP.
