I have an NT4.0 SP6a print server which has an old 1GB HDD. I just got a secondary 9GB drive (E:\). Instead of redoing the whole machine, is there a way to force the NT print spooler to use E:\ instead of C:\ (we have huge print jobs running across the network). Any help/advice would be great.

Sure can. Click Start-Settings-Printers. Then under file click Server Properties and change the path to whatever you want. Note that this will change the spooler location for all printers on that server.

Forgot to mention under file Server Properties, go to the advanced tab. Also, you must have admin rights.
