Spool file / Spooler max size

[Jonathan]

Hi,

I would like to know whether there is a max spool file
size or the maximum amount of memory the spooler should
be. Is it possible to print 400MB files? Can the spooler
actually grow to 400MB in size?

Thanks,
Jonathan

You'll run into a problem with some files greater than 2GIG. I think this
will be addressed for SP5, then you'll hit the max at 4GIG file size.

Thanks for the replies. Is that for Win2K SP4? What about
SP3? My spooler uses up to 600MB of RAM and is causing
application errors quite frequently. Am using SP3 right
now.
Thanks
