Spaces in file names and out of space issues in Win 7.

[richb]

Some tips that all old hands will certainly know:

I ran out of space on a VirtualBox.vdi file to run Win 7. I used the Vboxmanage command in konsole to increase its size. Unfortunately I had spaces in the path and file names so the command threw an error. Removing the spaces from the file name did not work as it did not recognize the file as a registered .vdi.

Easy solution, after Google search, Enclose the file path and name in quotes.

Prior to increasing the size I did have enough space to run Win 7, in Vbox.. When I tried to print something, the wireless. printer would not respond although it showed being on my network. Tried various fixes, until it dawned on me it was the space problem. I believe a temp file is created prior to printing. With no available space for it, nothing printed, and no error message was given. Increase space, that problem solved.

I believe Linux creates a temp file prior to printing as well. Can someone verify that?

you should be getting temporary files in the windows spooler. cups also has a spooler and yes, there will be some temp files as well.
