Problem #3: Spooler Retries Old Print Job
Description of Problem
When you send a print job to a printer, the print spooler might not delete
the spool file from the %SystemRoot%\System32\Spool\Printers folder when the
print job is completed, and the print spooler might repeatedly attempt to
spool the print job.
Resolution of Problem
• To prevent this behavior from occurring, do not change the attributes of a
spool file while it is in the %SystemRoot%\System32\ Spool\Printers folder.
• To work around this behavior, remove the read-only attribute and then
delete the spool file from the %SystemRoot%\System32\ Spool\Printers folder.
**I need to figure out how to get this auto delete feature working on a
regular basis.
