Is there anyway in changing the system to use another hard drive instead of C to use as the print spooling buffer?

I have a 12.0GB partition on my server and MS Exchange as well and I am finding that I am constantly running out of hard drive space when the server receives a very large print job (i.e. colour pictures). I have 4 separate physical hard drives all set to 1 partition per drive. I have already turned of 'Keep Printed Documents' and for my colour laser printer, I have it set to 'Print directly to the printer' instead of spooling. I have also set my Virtual Memory to be on of the secondary physical hard drives on my server.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
 
Open Printers and Faxes.

On the File menu, click Server Properties, and then click on the Advanced tab.

In the Spool folder window, enter the path of where you want the default spool folder, and then click OK.

Stop and restart the spooler service.
