SYMPTOMS
In Windows NT 3.5, if there are local print jobs pending and the server is rebooted or goes down (for example, a power outage without UPS), all the local pending print jobs in all the queues will disappear. There is still header (.SHD) files in \%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS, but the corresponding local job (.SPL) files are gone and do not print.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
