If I have a printer set up on a network server, with a queue on the server, do you know where is spools the documents before it sends them to the printer itself? I have a Laserjet 5Si with Jetdirect card, but every document errors out before they get to the jet direct card.

Well, the default spooler directory is:
%windir%\system32\spool\printers

Click Start -> Settings -> Printers -> File -> Server Properties -> Advanced tab. The path should be there.

If you don't have any drive space, you can change the directory to another drive with available space by stopping the Spooler service, changing the path in this text box to another drive, then starting the Spooler service back up.

hope this helps.
