HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers

change the value of DefaultSpoolDirectory to whatever you want.

There is ..its just that at the registry you can assign spool directories for each individual printers ..

But in your case ..choose printer in settings
and then under 'File' choose 'Server Properties'. Then Choose Advanced
and you can specify your spool directory like that.
