| 411085 | 2005-12-08 06:46:00 | Erm, Whats your computer and OS specs? | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 411086 | 2005-12-08 07:05:00 | Also how many other applications/windows you have open at the time, and what is the file size of the document you are trying to print. | Jen (38) | ||
| 411087 | 2005-12-08 07:36:00 | Set it so Windows controls the size of the swap file. And have a look and see if print spooling is enabled. |

| 411088 | 2005-12-08 09:07:00 | And have a look and see if print spooling is enabled.Just curious... what's that got to do with it, and what's recommended - enabled or disabled? | Greg (193) | ||
| 411089 | 2005-12-08 09:15:00 | Uh, Rule 763, Don't question Metla on subjects he is in the grey about. Muhahahahaha. Its got to do with how the document is sent to the printer, Its either sent directly or Spooled, To get into the nitty gritty I shall have to look it up, At one time I studied all about printers, then decided I wouldn't work on them.Hate them to death. As to which it should be, generally they should be set to spooled, but when hitting issues you can try it without, But like I said, Further investigation nessarcary as I may be way off. |

| 411090 | 2005-12-08 09:19:00 | Here we go, Its just caching the document. The most obvious sign its not enabled is when you cant line up jobs. Spooling Acronym for simultaneous peripheral operations on-line, spooling refers to putting jobs in a buffer, a special area in memory or on a disk where a device can access them when it is ready. Spooling is useful because devices access data at different rates. The buffer provides a waiting station where data can rest while the slower device catches up. The most common spooling application is print spooling. In print spooling, documents are loaded into a buffer (usually an area on a disk), and then the printer pulls them off the buffer at its own rate. Because the documents are in a buffer where they can be accessed by the printer, you can perform other operations on the computer while the printing takes place in the background. Spooling also lets you place a number of print jobs on a queue instead of waiting for each one to finish before specifying the next one. Source. www.webopedia.com |
