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.
