Message: [QUOTE="Alan Morris [MSFT], post: 12523620"] shd is the spooler scheduling file. It contains data about the job title, the print driver, and the printer. It's partly text based and you can open this file in notepad. the slp file is the actually print data. It's been this way for over 15 years. I think that's older than Shock Wave. Most likely there is a job scheduled to the MS Document Writer (whatever MS Office installs for a printer) and a job was printed to this printer that does not exist and was stuck in a loop until you deleted the job, the spooler no longer did was it is coded to do with the data, send to GDI for rendering to the print device. -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: [URL]http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1[/URL] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
