Hi list, I have stepped over this description for Printing from Windows into PDF files.

It seems that my W2K client, whatever option I tried in the Printer Driver Properties, starts spoolsv.exe to spool print data - that causes smbd to swallow resources heavily (50 %) until spoolsv.exe finishes, and then cuts off the rest of the data. I have tried many different postscript drivers, including those with Large Memory defaults for their machines, and every option in their properties (i.e. dont use spooler, pass straight to printer etc). I pretty much believe its a W2K issue, if I use the above SHARE-section [pdf] with "print command = ", I can print a 600 pages document, but of course straight to happy virtual hunting grounds... Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
