changing location of printer spool file
Win98SE, HPDeskjet 710C
Windows on C partition Programs on E partition Other partitions available Is it possible to change the location of the temporary spool file that is created while printing?. My C: partition is of restricted size to facilitate disk imaging with programs and data on E partition.

This is easily done with Windows NT but not with Win98. I suggest that
instead you move things like the Temporary Internet Files (in IE, Tools, Internet Options, Temporary Internet files Settings, Move folder. You can also move the swap file - right click My Computer, click Performance, Virtual Memory, then click Let me specify my own virtual memory settings. Change the drive letter. I suggest that you do not change the minimum or maximum size but let Windows continue to manage the size. Using TweakUI, you can easily change the location of several special folders such as My Documents, Favorites, etc. I'm guessing that just moving the swap file and Temporary Internet files (if this system uses IE) will take care of your problem.

I suspected from Googling that I couldn't change the spool location in 98SE. I have moved my swap file to G:\ and that has freed up the necessary space and doesn't seem to have broken anything yet. -- Rev Robert M Jones, Wimborne Baptist Church, UK http://www.wimborne-baptist.org.uk Free trial of Mailwasher Pro - effective email spam filter - (commission goes to our partners in Bulgaria) http://fta.firetrust.com/index.cgi?id=420 |
