- TITLE :Spooling More than 127 Jobs to Print Queue Causes Corruption
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:BUGLIST3.10
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- After you spool 127 print jobs to a print queue from Windows NT on an ALPHA-
- based computer, the following print jobs are corrupt.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- When the 127th job is spooled, subsequent jobs have "spooling" status when
- examined by Print Manager. As jobs are removed from the queue or printed,
- the "spooling" jobs remain in "spooling" status. If the queue is purged,
- the "spooling" jobs and some of the queued jobs cannot be deleted. The
- spool directory indicates that filenames for the spooled files are reused
- beginning at 32. That is, the counter for the spool filenames goes from 127
- to 32. If you restart the computer, the jobs that couldn't be deleted are
- no longer displayed in Print Manager and they can be deleted from
- WINNT\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
- Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post
- new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
- available.
