You have a print server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
You discover that when there are many pending print jobs, the system drive occasionally
runs out of free space.
You add a new hard disk to Server1.You create a new NTFS volume.
You need to prevent the print jobs from consuming disk space on the system volume.
What should you modify?
A.
The properties on the new volume
B.
The properties of the Print Spooler service
C.
The Print Server Properties
D.
The properties of each shared printer
Under Print Management , Print Servers, Name_of_your_Print_Server,Right Click, Properties,
under Advanced Tab we have : “Spool Folder”. There, we can type the new path.
We will then see a warning : “The changes to the spool folder will occur immediately and any currently active documents will not print. It is recommended to allow all documents to complete printing before changing the spool dolfer. Are you sure you want to change the spool folder ?”
Answer is C.

1. Open Printers and Faxes.
2. On the File menu, click Server Properties, and then click the Advanced tab.

The question is about changing the spool folder location in Server 2012 R2, and the answer is correct, and confirmed in the first comment.
11, Dilran & Mike? What and why? you’ve nothing to add to a Q&A that’s already correct, with nothing you say researched or checked out.
David arrived at the correct answer, probably by looking at Windows 7. But the solution has been the same at least back to Windows 2000. You don’t manage a Windows Server 2012 R2 Print server through “Printers and Faxes”, but the MS way remains the same.

Dude, obviously you don’t see what happened here.
This page was obviously showing two different questions.
Ya, to change the spool folder location > Print Server properties.
The question I am answering, is asking
“You need to prevent the print jobs from consuming disk space on the system volume.”
Render jobs on client computers is the answer for that.
Thanks for your stupidity, though.

Actually ur still not correct. You only need to make sure the print jobs don’t effect the “system volume” so changing the spool folder location to the newly added NTFS volume does the trick. So > C for this question (and B for the added question in the remarks)

Answer is C.
By default Windows spools print jobs are stored in the following folder:
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS.
The administrator can manually change the location of the spool files.
– Right-Click on the printer server
– Choose properties
– Advanced tab

Thank you Simo. Also I would like to say that these options are available under the print server management console.
