I found a detailed thread on the Windows Forum that discusses how Windows 7 processes a network print job step by step. Here's a summary of the process: 1. Data Transmission to the Print Server: - The user initiates a print job from their machine. - The data is transmitted to the print server. 2. Processing on the Print Server: - The print server receives the data and checks the printer settings. - The necessary drivers are used to convert the document for the specific printer. 3. Spooling: - The print server then spools the document into a print queue. - This queue is processed in a first-in, first-out manner. 4. Job Allocation: - The server allocates the print job to the selected printer. - The job is sent to the printer's queue. 5. Communication with the Printer: - The print server communicates with the printer to ensure it is ready. - It then sends the job in small chunks to the printer. 6. Printing: - The printer receives the data and starts printing the document. - The process continues until the entire job is printed. 7. Job Completion: - Once the printing is done, the server removes the job from the queue. - The job status is updated on the user's machine. For more in-depth information and discussions on this topic, you can refer to the original thread. It provides additional insights and details on the print job processing steps in Windows 7.
