Check to make sure the option "Keep printed documents" is not checked on the Advanced tab of the printer(s) properties. I
have also seen this with some printers when the option "Enable bidirectional support" is checked on the Ports tab of the
printer(s) properties. The last think I can remember that I have seen cause this is if the anti-virus program is set to do a real
time scan of the %systemroot%\system32\spool\printers folder. It is normally best to not do real time scanning on this
folder.
