Have you checked your print spool folder? It can be found below:

C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS

 

We used to clear this folder out at the end or beginning of each half-term, otherwise the C drive would fill to the point where no-one could print anymore.

It will probably be Archiving in Papercut. We had ours set to a separate drives as we were having the same issues.

We used to get this when users sent huge files for print. Trying to print a very high resolution print job instead of compressing the image first which we got the students to do under teacher guidance and that sorted the issue.

You can move the spool folder to another drive, I can't find the original article, but here is an archive link   www.betaarchive.com
