Win2003 several background printing management skills inventory

  

Background printing is a printing function of Microsoft Office, by using the background printing function, you can continue to edit the document while printing Office documents. So, how does the windows system use the background printing function? It is understood that the Windows system quickly uses the background printing function to quickly return the operation control authority to the print operator, thereby ensuring that the print user always operates the computer efficiently. However, in the case of proper operation, if it is not operated properly, it will have an adverse effect. For this reason, we must properly manage the background printing function of the system. Today, we will introduce some management techniques of background printing in detail.

Clever position, efficient response to large batch jobs

In the default state, the background printing function will automatically cache the received print jobs in order of the print job execution time, and then cache them to Windows 2003. In the "%systemroot%\\system32\\spool\\printers" directory in the system, the spooling function will automatically monitor the current working status of the printer to determine when a particular print job will be executed. However, because the "%systemroot%\\system32\\spool\\printers" directory contains other system files of Windows 2003, the system will frequently access these system files during high-volume printing operations, which will result in printing speed and other A serious drop in system performance. In addition, when performing large-volume printing operations, there may be a lot of large-capacity print jobs stored in the "%systemroot%\\system32\\spool\\printers" directory of the hard disk, which makes it easy to consume valuable hard disks. Resources that affect the performance of the entire computer. In view of this, we must subtly cache the spooling location to the operating system-independent disk partition to minimize the impact of background printing on the overall performance of the system, ensuring that the printer can efficiently and quickly handle large batches of jobs. . When transferring the cache location of the spool function, you can do the following:

First click the “Set> option in the Start & rdquo; menu and click from the pop-up submenu. “Printers and Faxes" option, open the printer's list window, use the mouse to select the target printer in the window;

Then click the “file” option in the menu bar of the window and execute In the drop-down menu, click the “Server Properties” command to open the printer server properties interface. Click the “Advanced” tab in the interface to enter the advanced option settings interface;

in the interface ; Spool folder ” text box, you will see the system default spool folder save path is "%systemroot%\\system32\\spool\\printers", in order to replace its save path, as long as it is Just enter the new path directly into the text box; for example, to transfer the spool location of the spool to the folder "F:\\qqq", just type "ld:F: \\qqq” and restart the computer system again.

However, the above method will change the print spool location of all printers. If there are multiple printers installed in the current computer system, is there any way to transfer only the spool cache location of the specified printer? The answer is Certainly, but this needs to be done by modifying the system's registry, which is a bit difficult for friends who are not familiar with the registry operation. But "Rookie" friends can easily complete the transfer task of the background print cache location by following the steps below:

Click the "Start”/“Run” command in In the pop-up "Open" text box, directly enter the string command "regedit", click the Enter key to open the system's registry editing interface;

In the left pane of the interface, Use the mouse to expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Print\\Printers\\HP LaserJet 4VC registry subkey one by one (where HP LaserJet 4VC is the specified printer name installed on the author's computer, and the user's own printer name can be in the printer list window Clearly view;;

In the right pane area of ​​the specified printer name, check to see if there is a string value named "SpoolDirectory", if you can't find it, click The “edit”/“new”/“string value” command in the registry edit window will be newly created Set the string value name to "SpoolDirectory"; then double-click the string value, in the subsequent "Value data" setting box, you can directly enter the new cache path of the specified printer, and finally click “ Confirm the ” button and refresh the system registry to make the above settings take effect.

Setting up the service to solve the background printing problem

Sometimes when adding a new printer to the computer system, we often find that the system prompts that the printer daemon cannot be run. Obviously, this printing failure Related to the spooling feature. Then why does the printer have such a fault, how can we solve the fault?

The spooler cannot run. There are usually two possibilities. One possibility is that the printer driver is attacked by a virus or Frequent uninstallation of software causes some driver files to be lost. Another possibility is that the printer's background printing service stops unexpectedly due to various factors. Therefore, to solve this kind of background printing failure, we need to start from two aspects:
< First, find the latest version of the anti-virus software, install it on the computer with the background printing failure, then upgrade the anti-virus program to the latest version through the network, and then thoroughly check the computer system to see if there is any Virus exists;

If the above method can not solve the background printing failure, then most of the system's background printing service is accidentally stopped due to system optimization or improper settings, at this time we can press the following operation It restarts:

Click “Start”/“Control System panel” command, open the system's control panel window, double-click the "Administrative Tools" icon in the window, and then double-click the "Services" icon in the pop-up interface, in the service list window that appears later. , find the "print spooler" service project;

Double-click the service item with the mouse to open the service property interface, in which we can clearly see the current working status of the spooling service; If the service has been stopped, just click the “Start” button in the interface, then set its startup type to “auto", and finally click the “OK” button.
