![]() ![]() Copy and Rename the files to a descriptive name like "testprint-3pages-2color-1bw.spl".Take a copy of the SPL and SHD files who's creation date matches the time of the print. ![]() On the server, navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS\ folder.Print a document that demonstrates the problem (normally using a workstation).Manually power down the printer or pause the queue so printing will stay held in the queue.If the application does not support "Print to file", the following method (for a Windows server) can be used: Presumably there are different formats of spooler data etc.? Is there a utility that can do the printing/viewing of captured files? I have a feeling this is more complicated than I think. My question is whether you can capture this 'raw' spooler data (I've managed to copy and paste to capture the files that appear in the spool folder, but you have to be fast!), and crucially, once you've captured it, can you then somehow send it to print again? I believe this file is held briefly in the " C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS" folder, which is effectively the shared print queue folder. This file is sent to the printer then the local copy is deleted. From a machine running XP or Vista, as I understand it, when you send something to print, Windows/the print drivers render the file into a format the printer can read and understand (a spool file?). I'm trying to find out if this is possible, and if so how to do it. ![]()
