Re: Can I force local spooling with network printers?

No, you will need to add the printers locally on each client if this is what
you want. Create a Local Port using \\printserver\printshare as the name of
the port. Make sure you use the same driver or you can easily send the
wrong data format to the printer since the server will just pass it along to
the device.

Alan,

Thanks for your response.

I tried un-checking "advanced printing features" from the Advanced tab f
setting and found that it resulted in no spool file on the local
workstation. I am watching the default spooler directory
(C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS) while printing and there aren't any
.SPL or .SHD files created when printing to a network printer shared from
my print server. I would like to always have the .SPL and .SHD files
generated on the client.

Are there any other settings on the server that I might try?

this will force GDI rendering on the client. For some printers that use
a custom print processor, you may lose collation and booklet printing.

This setting will allow faster job processing through the server
