Abstract
A computer implemented method and program product for configuring and prioritizing local network print requests. In one embodiment, a printer shared on multiple networks is configured to a set of parameters defined by an administrator for prioritizing the print requests received from users on a local network. A first print request is received from a first user on a remote network. The first print request originating from the first user on a remote network is printed. A second print request is received from a second user on a local network. A determination is made whether a match to the set of parameters is present. In response to determining a match to the set of parameters is present, the first print request is interrupted in order to print the second print request on the printer. The first print request from the remote network is resumed once the second print request from the local network is completely printed.
