Printing issues after moving TEMP folder to RAM Disk
2 posts · Closed
Hello,
I am using RAM Disk v4.0.8. There is one issue I came across. After moving the TEMP folder to the RAM Disk, printing won't work anymore in certain programs. I am unable to print from any Office 2016 application, and it is not possible to print a Windows test page. Printing in other programs, like Adobe PDF, AutoCAD, and Notepad, works fine.
I found out that after moving the TEMP folder to the RAM Disk with the NTFS file system, permissions of the TEMP folder are causing these print issues. To solve the permissions conflict, I changed the file system of the RAM Disk to exFAT. Although you may know about that, I wanted to point that issue out.
I am using the latest Windows 10 1809.
Kind regards,
Hrvoje
Thank you for reporting this issue and suggesting a workaround. We will add this information to our Nnowledge Base if similar issues are reported again by other users.
In general, we recommend using exFAT as a more lightweight and faster file system as well. Here is a bit more on choosing a file system for a RAM disk.
Once again, thank you for letting us know.
