so that saves the job but it doesn't print. i need to save the job and print it also. Any ideas on how to do that?
If you select "Keep printer documents", your printer doesn't print anymore?
What do you have selected under "Advanced"?

when i do this
If you want to save/spool the jobs to another directory, you have to change
the following registry value:
1. "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\W
name>"
2. Set, the "SpoolDirectory" value to a new directory location.
3. Restart the print spooler service
it doesn't print anymore

I see.
What are the permissions on that shared folder?
Give NTFS/sharing permissions to "everyone" for testing purposes and try again.
Also try a local folder like C:\test before you change it to network path.
