Changes to a printer’s device configuration are not applied until the computer restarts or the Print Spooler service restarts in Windows Vista

In Windows Vista, when you restart a printer after you change its device configuration, the changes are not applied until the Print Spooler service restarts. For example, the changes are not applied until the computer restarts.

This problem occurs if the printer driver is based on Web Services on Devices (WSD). This problem occurs only if you make the changes while the printer is turned off.

There is a download that resolves this issue. See Hotfixes for details. This issue is resolved in SP1.
