SYMPTOMS

When you compare file sizes of spooled EMF print jobs with the printer's queue window with the size of the .spl files in the Spool folder at a command prompt, the file sizes reported in the two locations do not match.

NOTE: Print jobs using the RAW format are almost identical when you view the files in the two locations.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
