SYMPTOMS

After you install or upgrade the printer driver on a Windows Vista-based or on a Windows Server 2008-based computer, some temp files that have a size of 0 bytes are created in the following folder:

%SystemRoot%\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3

Note The temp files have a name, such as BUD<nnnn>.tmp. The <nnnn> placeholder represents a series of numbers.

Additionally, these temp files are not deleted automatically.

This problem may occur if the newly installed or upgraded printer driver includes the Unidrv.dll driver for Windows Vista or for Windows Server 2008.

CAUSE

The redundant BUD<nnnn>.tmp files are created by the Unidrv.dll driver when the driver is installed or upgraded. If an old BUD<nnnn>.tmp file exists, the function tries to delete the BUD<nnnn>.tmp file. However, if the file is open, the file cannot be deleted. Therefore, a new BUD<nnnn>.tmp file that has a size of 0 bytes is created. Additionally, this file is not accessed by the Unidrv.dll driver. Therefore, these files are not deleted automatically.
