When you plan disk space for a Windows When you plan disk space for a Windows 2000 Server, take into account the type of 2000 Server, take into account the type of printing at that server and the number of printing at that server and the number of users. For example, if there are times users. For example, if there are times when 50 users are sending 1 MB print when 50 users are sending 1 MB print files simultaneously, then you need to files simultaneously, then you need to plan on at least 50 MB of disk space just plan on at least 50 MB of disk space just for the print spooler.for the print spooler.
