Hello
I had a problem while spooling a loarge job to the printer. The job consists of 3700 pages and is about 2 gigs. It will spool to about 3621 and then it the printer locks with error message "Locked due to error". I respooled the job and opened the task manager and I saw that application spoolsv.exe would use up to as much as 42% of the cpu while the job was spooling.
I checked the Windows/system32/spool/printers directory and found that there was a .SHD file there and it was a little over 1 gig. I waited overnght to see if it would delete, but it did not so I deleted the file, turned off my spooler service, turned off my printer and then turned both back on again. I spooled the job again while monitoring the task manager and the printer folder. when the job began spooling the .shd AND .SPL files appeared in the printer folder and the spoolv.exe would fluctuate from 0-42% cpu usage. I got hte same end results ..printer locked and the SHD stayed in the folder.

I printed out the log and it said The endpage API call failed with error code 0 for printer.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks
