Restarted Print Job Are Deleted When Spooler Service Is Restarted

Submitted print jobs are deleted after you restart your computer or after the Print Spooler service is restarted.

This problem occurs when you restart the computer because the Print Spooler service deletes print jobs if they appear to be corrupted. For documents that previously went through a cycle of printing, restarting, and printing, the spooler incorrectly determines that the job is corrupted.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or the individual software update. For information on obtaining the latest service pack, please go to:
