In my travels, discussions, and other exposures to sign shops running Microsoft Windows 95 and up OS, there is a some what often, yet very unpredictable and inconsistent problem when paper printing. After reading one of my weekly computer trade rag columns, it was suggested to put a shortcut to the culprit, Spool32.exe, in the Start Up menu. Although this does not eliminate the problem, it does appear to significantly reduce it. Micro$oft just published support article Q191949 with additional information.

As it was described in the column, Spool32.exe, which allows the return back to a program before printing is completed, unexpectedly quits midstream. By having it “always open,’ it reduces this random exit.

Hope it helps some of us out! If you do this, please report back in a few days/weeks and let it be known if it did in fact reduce your printing errors or made no difference at all. Don’t bother posting if it made it worse, I will probably have already heard the screaming.
Thanx!
