objPrintQueue.Put «StartTime» , TimeValue(«2:00:00 AM»)
objPrintQueue.SetInfo
End If
Next

Changing Print Job Priority

Uses ADSI to change the priority of current print jobs based on the size of those print jobs.

Set objPrinter = GetObject(«WinNT://atl-dc-02/ArtDepartmentPrinter, printqueue»)
For each objPrintJob in objPrinter.PrintJobs
If objPrintJob.Size > 400000 Then
