Locating the Spool folder and enabling printing on NTFS

Locating the Spool folder and enabling printing on NTFS

The Spool folder holds a copy of all documents in the printer spool. By default, this folder is located at %SystemRoot%System32SpoolPrinters. On the NTFS file system, all users who access the printer must have Modify permission on this directory. If they don’t, they won’t be able to print documents.

If you’re experiencing problems, check the permission on this directory by following these steps:

1. Access the Print Server Properties dialog box.

2. Tap or click the Advanced tab. The location of the Spool folder is shown in the Spool Folder text box. Note this location.

3. Press and hold or right-click the Spool folder in Windows Explorer, and then tap or click Properties.

4. Tap or click the Security tab. Now you can verify that the permissions are set appropriately.
