Deleting a file after it has been sent to the spooler
Hey all,
Can you immediately delete a file after it has been sent to the printer and is in line in the queue and will it still print? It appears that you can, but I'm wondering if the printer runs out of paper and isn't replaced for 10 minutes, will that (deleted) file remain in the queue until its turn and then print correctly and completely? Thanks in advance. Jordan |

Deleting a file after it has been sent to the spooler
So long as you don't delete the print job, it will remain available almost
forever, including through a system restart. However, if you have sufficient problems with the printer to require drastic solutions like uninstalling/reinstalling, or switching to a different printer altogether, you'll be SOL. I don't depend on the spooler, and wait to make sure I'm *entirely* finished with the document before I delete it. -- Gary S.
