Hi all, is it safe to delete the entire contents of the following folder? C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS My users seem to be having lots of printing issues, the printers simply stop printing at random times. I have noticed the above folder has loads of SPL and SHD files. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank
