How do I make the Windows 98 print spooler not delete the spool files after the job is printed?
4 replies
I don't believe that this can be done since the object of the spool file is to create a temporary file for the printer service to access, and then return control of the application back to the user (unlike the old days which would make the user waituntil everything was printed so the user would start a print job and go to lunch). The only method I can think of is to have a batch job sampling the spool file directory and copy the contents periodically whenever it sees something in the spool file directory.
Hope that helps,

This can be done on Windows NT/2000.
