Just being cute in an attempt to keep things on the light side while
informing you that I am a male.
There is no printer spooler folder on a Mac.
There has to be one, although it may not be called that. If there is not
one, where are the files that are sent to the printer stored while they are
being feed to the printer and after they have been processed by the printer
driver? If there is no spooler and the file is sent directly from the
program to the printer or from the printer driver to the printer, the
printer will chock on the overrun because the hardware buffer in the printer
itself is relatively small and can only hold a limited amount of data before
it chocks and crashes.
Ok, it sounds as if you have a single drive with one partition. Since you
have said that you have run a defragmenting program on that drive and 18 GB
of free and available hard drive storage space, it seems as though lack of
free and unfragmented space is not the problem. Now that I am sure that we
are using the same language and talking about the same thing I have to admit
that I am at a loss for solutions and you may have to speak with someone
familiar with Macs. Have you called Epson about the problem?
