We have 3 or 4 Dell PC's that are getting spool 32 errors. We use HP Printers. Have reinstalled print drivers and OS which is WIN 98SE. Same problem persists. The printers are direct comnected to the computers. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Here's what works for me.
Go to the DEVICE MANAGER and change the LPT (parallel) port driver from ECP to STANDARD PRINTER PORT.

I agree with answer #1... You can also (in printer properties) set the option to "Print directly to the printer", which eliminates spooling, and/or put a bullet next to "Enable Bidirectional Support", which your printers may require.
