Spool32.exe error on Windows 98.
I am a system support professional for a large banking
firm. Here I am facing spool error problem. Morning, when I am starting the machine, it will print perfectly and after taking 10 or 20 printouts, it will give a spool32.exe error and same time, there is no printer showing on the printer folder. This time, if I am restarting the machine, the printer will show on the folder and can take the printout. For resolving, I added the spool file on startup and edited win.ini and added entry as load=c:\windows\system\spool32.exe. For 1 month, it worked perfectly and again, it is showing problems. The user is complaining to me and I could not find a solution. Just now I went through the Knowledge Base Article No. 167775, it is stating that, this problem will not occure on Windows 98. But I am facing this problem on windows 98 and not on windows 2000 machines and windows XP. Pls give me a solution as soon as possible. |

Spool32.exe error on Windows 98.
This problem is generally associated with a network or running some
utilities in the background. Make sure that you have the latest driver available from the manufacturer of your printer. If you are on a Novell Network, make sure that you have the latest Netware client for your workstations and that in Network properties, Novell NetWare Client, Protocol Preferences, make sure that the protocol order lists IPX as the first protocol. See these articles from Novell. http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...?/10052257.htm http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...i?/2949178.htm http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...?/10013528.htm If you are using Norton AntiVirus, check for updates. See this article from Symantec: Error: "Spool32 error" when printing to a network printer http://tinyurl.com/tey4 If you are using McAfee VirusScan, then see this article from McAfee.

Spool32.exe error on Windows 98.
I had implemented the same solution, but some branches it
is working perfectly. But other branches, it worked only for 2 days. Still the same error is coming. I could not put the spool settings to print directly to the printer. If I am doing this, the application will never print the matter. So I have to select it as spool and have to be in EMF or RAW. But the same problem is coming. Is any other solutions. Anyway thanks for the first solution. -----Original Message----- This problem is generally associated with a network or running some utilities in the background.
