TITLE :Spool File Location is Not Configurable
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:buglist3.10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you print from an application under Windows NT, the Spooler usually
stores the print job as a pair of files on your hard disk. The location of
these files is not configurable, the Spooler is hard-coded to store the
files at %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS.
CAUSE
=====
This is a limitation in the current product.
RESOLUTION
==========
There is no workaround to force the Spooler to store spool files in a
different location, but you can prevent spooling from applications running
on the local computer. In Print Manager, select the printer whose jobs
should not be spooled. From the Printer menu, choose Properties, and then
select the Details button. In the Printer Details dialog box, select the
Print Directly To Ports option. Note that the Print Directly To Ports
option is not available for printers that are shared on the network.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
