-=PCTechTalk=- Re: temp files

If you delete them, and your printer goes bonkers, then you have some corrupt 
files, bad files, bad printer driver, messed up machine, or anything else that 
isn't right. In other words, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that the 
Window's temp files should effect the printer... or, of course, unless someone 
specifically installed printer files in there, in which case they messed up and 
they shouldn't have done that.

But, short of that, "Windows" temp files, in the location you described, should 
not do that to your printer. If you're nervous about it, create another folder 
and just move all the files to that other folder. Keep it there until you are 
satisfied that removing the temp files made no adverse effect to your system, 
and then later delete. At least then, you will have a backup.
