Windows 95 has as an option in the printer controls the
capability of setting the printer to "Work Offline". This
allows a person to store print pages in a queue to print
at a later time. This is accomplished by using the drop
down menu from the printer control. How is this
accomplished in Windows 2000? The option is no longer on
the drop down menu.
Thank-you

"Use Printer Offline" is on the context menu for printers in Windows 2000.

*** The "Use Printer Offline" feature is only available for local
printers, for example, printers that are directly
connected to LPT1. ***
When using this functionality it is imperative that you configure the
printer to spool documents, see this KB article:
