[OPLINTECH] Print server issues

[Josh Proffit]

Thanks for the responses, but I've tried both of those options as well. I changed the spool location to a different partition, restarted the service and it made no difference. It's gonna be a long day...

Have you tried stopping and restarting the spooler service?

Also you could try to use the "Advanced Tab" of the Printer properties on Server 2003 and change the location of the Print Spool..perhaps its corrupted somehow?

If restarting the service doesn't work, moving the print spool may fix the issue for you.

I need a hail mary pass here. I have one print server that -just over night it seems- doesn't like pdf files suddenly. There are several printers hosted on the server (2003) and it doesn't seem to matter which printer you choose, if it is a PDF file it takes forever to spool, the file bloats to some massive size,  and when it does print it's one page every 10 seconds. I've tried updated PCL drivers, postscript drivers, updated adobe reader...nothing I try is making a difference. Again it is only PDF files causing this, other documents zip right through. I'm banging my head against a keyboard here, any ideas?
