I have a problem with the NT 3.51 Spooler, at least up to now nobody could
tell me if it is a misbehaviour or a feature.
The problem is:
After the spooler restarts (power off, shutdown and restart, stop and start
the spooler service) all pending spool jobs (.SHD, .SPL) are deleted from
the spooling directory and the spooler is as clean as a newborn child. I
tried this on
several machines with different Service Pack levels and as well on NT
Servers and Workstations.
I can't beleave that this is what it should be but none of all the NT
experts I talked to could give me a definitve answer.
If anybody has any idea, please write me..

Uwe

P.S.
I just tried it on a WIN NT 4.0 Beta 2 workstation and it worked fine.
After rebooting the machine the spooler continued with his pending print
jobs. So that's what I expected.
