Printing securely?

Hi

If I allow the print spooler to do its thing under normal circumstances, can an infected file which I am trying to print contaminate my pc through the temp folder?

Is it worth sandboxing the system temp and the user temp folders? I'm thinking of making the printing process as secure as possible.

Thanks

The spooler changes were introduced with version 4.18, please see more info here:
