This Windows 2000 client computer is part of a LAN. This computer has 250MB RAM and a 2.6 GHz processor. The paging file is 1536MB. A HP Business Inkjet 2200 is directly connected to this computer. Every time I try to print, I get a window titled "Spool Directory Selection", then belos it is a message that says "Insufficient disk space in the current directory to spool the print file. Please select another directory". What can cause this problem, and how can I get rid of this message every time I print?

Windows 2000 (and XP) spooler is really bad for throwing up problems. I realise it is not ideal but turning off the spooler will work. Sometimes you can re enable the spooler again and it will reset and be ok but generally I just leave it off!
