PageMaker Err Msg: Waiting for the Spooler to... (89011)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q89011 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to print from Aldus PageMaker 4.0 desktop publishing
software with Microsoft Windows version 3.1, you may receive the following
error message:
status: Waiting for the spooler to empty its print buffer.
CAUSE
This error occurs only if you use a Windows Print Manager (or a third-party
print spooler) when there is not sufficient space on the hard drive to
store this temporary file(s). If this message appears, the file does not
print and the print job must be terminated.
This error may also occur if the SET TEMP statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file specifies an invalid directory.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
- Remove unnecessary files from the hard drive and/or reduce the size
of the permanent swapfile (if it exists).
- Make sure that the SET TEMP statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
refers to a valid directory. For example, if the following line is
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
be sure there is a directory on drive C called WINDOWS\TEMP.
- Turn off Print Manager. This does not solve the problem, but it allows
you to print until you can create more space on the hard drive.
