Network printing not working even after setting up clawPDF Bridge

[chandralk]

Need help with network printing.

We have setup clawPDF and clawPDF Bridge by following the Install as Network Printer wiki page.

While prints from the local machine are working fine, prints for any other machine on the network are not getting processed.

What we observed is that when prints are issued from the local machine, the job files are going into C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\clawPDF\Spool but when they are issued from any other machine, they go into C:\Windows\Temp\clawPDF_<username>\Spool folder. And seems that the running instance of clawPDF will monitor only the first folder.

@hessandrew, it would be great if you can help us understand the data flow, what the roles of the monitor and the bridge are and where to look for configuration and log files and registry entries. It's not documented anywhere and it is very difficult for us to understand what's happening and where to look and check when things don't work. Please help us with this knowledge and we'll prepare nice documentation and raise a PR to add it to the Wiki.

Thanks

See #118 (comment), does this help?

I am having the exact same issue, toggling the drivers did not help in my instance.

Same issue, stopped working. Can see documents being placed in the spooler folder, but not being saved as pdf.
