Where is the spool file stored? If it is on her hard drive, have you checked to make sure her hard drive is not full? If it is on a network drive, check to make sure she has not exceeded her quota.

Uninstall the HP drivers while holding down the control, option and command keys. &nbsp;This should fully remove the HP printer drivers and clear the spool area.<br />
<br />
Then reinstall the hp software.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have a user who is using an iMac with OS X 10.6.8. When she tries to print to an HP Officejet 7110 (wide format) she get the error, &quot;Spool area full.&quot;<br />
<br />
I have reset the printing system on her iMac as well as uninstalled / reinstalled the print drivers for that printer. I even checked her permissions, which she is an admin.<br />
<br />
Just an fyi, she was able to print to it a few time last week. Also, other users in her dept. who also use iMacs are able to print to this printer fine.<br />
<br />
Is there anything else I can do to get rid of this error. I need to get her back up and printing soon.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Spool Area Full error on iMac

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
