Spool area full

Hello there,
we are having an printing issue with one of the devices. The printer won't print. Instead, we the following message: Spool area full. The printer was deleted and reinstalled. Didn't change the situation. Anybody out there with a solution? Thanks for the feedback.

I went into the printer tech support & they worked through my issue successfully so this may be relevant - try your own printer tech support
On the printer, press the Ink Management button ( - for Touch Screen Models - the button on the touch screen that has all the colours), then press Test Print, press Print Quality, press Mono Start.
Follow the instructions on the printout and on the display of the printer. You may need to clean several times before you notice any improvement.
Here is a link that will direct you with some screen shots as well for brother printers:

HT3500 I keep getting an error message that the "spools are full". How do I access the spools and how do I empty them?

I keep getting an error message that the "spools are full". Where do I find them and how to empty them?

You may be able to determine the reason for this error by examining your Mac's logs with Console. To do that find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
Open Console.
If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's problem. To do that choose Clear Display from Console's toolbar. Leave Console running while you choose Print from iPhoto again. Examine any new entries logged in Console. If there are any, copy and paste them in a reply.

Spool area full on Mac 10.6.6 with LaserJet CM1415

I am longer able to print to my LaserJet CM1415. I presume that is because of the error message saying "Spool Area Full". I tried deleting the printer, and adding it back again, but this did not have any effect (I still get the "Spool Area Full" message). Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Have y'all reset the printing system?:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

Spool area full hp 6830

i have hp 6803 all in one printer. when i print from mac book air wirelessly, the pages come out of printer, but no black ink appears. color ink does appear. printer message says "spool area full". What does that mean and how do you fix?

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I see you're encountering a spooler error when using your HP Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist. Which version of Mac OS X are you running? Please reply with this detail at your leisure and I'll be happy to help. Thank you,

6500A doesn't print. iMac w/OS 10.6.7. Message says spool area full.

My 6500A stopped printing from my iMac, although it does the test sheet fine. (Test sheet can be requested OK from the computer, not just on the 6500A.) OS is 10.6.7. Thought problem was a low-ink warning, but installing the new cartridges hasn't gotten printing back. HP Utility shows reception of the file and (briefly) a message that printing is 98 percent complete. Then a moment later it stops, displaying a message that the "spool area" is "full." The printer goes to "idle" and any indication of the file disappears. Turning printer off (wait) and then on again hasn't corrected problem. Is there some way to clear this spool area, so that the 6500A will actually print? Thanks for any advice.
This question was solved.

Yup, let's reset the printing system:

- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.

Is your scratch drive over 1 Terabyte? Photoshop 7 was never programmed for those sizes and will return that type of error if you recently changed drives,
Solution is to partition that drive to less than one 1 TB or find a smaller drive.
And update to 7.0.1 Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1 update

How do I stop my macbook telling me scratch discs are full

I have reduced applications photos email etc from my laptop but I am being told 1. Start up discs are full and 2. Scratch discs are full what exactly does this mean. Would more memory help if so what type. The macbook is 2008 2.4 core 2 Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR SDRAM. Thanks I know this is a daft question for most people.

Yeah, same problem here, same sentiment! it sure feels like harassment. no solution works (even the absurd ones). makes me regret the update :s

I have three "pages" of apps, not all of which are full. How do I move an app from one page to another to consolidate?

I have three pages of apps, not all of which are full. How do I move apps from one page to another to have full pages?

Hook your iPad up to your computer and iTunes and move them from within iTunes.
Or
Hold down on one of your apps until they all start to wiggle. Then hold down on the ones you want to move and drag them on the screen. Drag them to the middle left to move them left,(such as from page 2 to page one) middle right ot move them right,(from page 2 to page 3) rearrange as you want.
When you're done, tap the home key and everything should stop wiggling.

Only the first page is printed reduced as setup. All pages afterward are full size with information cut off. Recent problem. Can print from Safari just fine. How can I get all pages to be reduced size?

Could not place picture, scratch disks are full

Hello, after fresh installation of Windows 7 ultimate on a PC (Intel Core-i5, GA-H97, 8GB RAM, 120 SSD for system, 1TB for data), and Photoshop CC 2014, we have a problem:
When trying to add a picture to a new Photoshop document we get the following error message: "Could not place, because the scratch disks are full".
On C: (the SSD) there is 70GB free space, on D: there is 900GB free space.
I've defined both disks as scratch disks, then tried to define either of the disks as scratch disk - nothing helped!
Could you please help us ASAP?
Thanks in advance.

Good day!
Have you restarted Photoshop after changing the Performance Preferences?
Using the System drive as Scratch Disk is not prudent if it can be avoided.

Final cut pro x keeps on saying files are full when trying to export when their not ?

Hi
Final cut pro x keeps on saying files are full when i'm trying to export when they are not full and also what setting do i export them on for a small quicktime?

The preset that will give you the smallest file is email and you will have 3 choices of size. Not sure what you consider small, but also take a look at Apple Device.
Your error message is Files are Full or DIsk is Full? Will need more info about your system specs, the format of the clips you're using and your project settings.

Could it be the case that you have "proxy media" selected in the preferences (under Final Cut Pro -> Preferences, click on "Playback" and see which is selected, proxy or optimized), BUT you are not creating proxy media when importing?
If that is the case, either
- switch to "original/optimized media",
or
- create the proxy media (control-click the clip(s) in the event browser, choose "Transcode media" e check the box for "create proxy media").

How can I correct this?

Make sure your print dialog box is set to print comments. The highlights are comments.
