re: Question about 'Adjust Your Printer Timeout' Thursday, August 7, 2008 at 7:22 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by fastfreddie1959 (5 messages posted) You can add further efficiency by adjusting the printer timeout period. Normally in Windows, if the printer is out of paper, or it is not turned on, or is simply warming up then a message appears, which reads something like "Windows will Retry in 5 seconds". This is the timeout period. In order to adjust it as per your specification, just double-click on the Printers icon in Control Panel, and then click on the details tab. You will find that the timeout for "not ready" is called Not Selected here. Now set the value as per your specifications and close the control panel. This way you can adjust the timeout for the printer.
