Moving printer spool directory and printers.

[hal]

In Printers/Server Properties/Advanced it defines the location of your
printer spool and queue files. My spool was set up on a partition
with minimal space and was wondering if moving my spool directory was
as easy as stopping my spooler, creating a spool directory on my other
partition, copying over the *.spa.pl* files (those are the printer
queue files, right?) redefining in properties/advanced, and
restarting the spooler.

sound right?

Thanks,

Hal

Yes, that is exactly how you do this. *.spl files are the data files. The
queue information is stored in the registry.
