John, As others have suggested, there is no print spooler in Universe on Windows.
If your goal is to provide a "gui front end for spooler management" that works for UV under both .nix and Windows, then I think you have two choices. 1. Write a print spooler for UV/NT that functions like the print spooler in UV/nix with a gui front end (but does not look anything like the print spooler found in generic Pick databases). 2. Write (or purchase) a generic Pick print spooler that runs on both UV/NT and UV/nix with a gui front end. Most of our customers have been running on generic Pick databases for the past 20+ years, and we wanted to be able to move them to Universe on Windows or .nix, so we wrote a generic Pick print spooler, SpoolerPlus, to make that transition as easy and as transparent as possible. We then ported Spooler Plus to Unidata/NT with only minor modifications. Our next step is to port SpoolerPlus to Universe/nix, and then to Unidata/nix, to provide a consistent generic Pick print and spooler management environment on all U2 platforms. Since there are so many different "gui" tools and environments, SpoolerPlus is written in Basic and Proc, with the option of converting its menus, entry screens, displays and reports to the gui environment of your choice. I'll be glad to provide you information about SpoolerPlus if you wish and answer any questions you may have to help you achieve your goal.
