Re: Track Down Print Job Crashing Spooler

Hi Bruce. I have a process that is too much to explain in this forum. The
driver developers like my process since once I have the offending file
I can easily recreate the failure on any machine. It makes debugging easy
and it also makes verification simple that the driver fix corrects the
issue.

contact me and I'll give you the specifics. You will need a machine to move
all the existing spool files to rather than deleting them. Preferable one
that is running the same OS / SP and security patches that the print server
is running
