1. Printing problem - need to restart print spooler service - Windows Server
2. Problem with print spooler on XP clients on SBS network
Hi all, Windows SBS 2003 R2 Premium LAN of around 18 XP Pro SP2 clients, all fully patched One print server (Windows 2000) serving 5 laser printers We have an annoying and recurring problem. The LAN will operate happily, people can print, no issues. Then periodically a single computer wil experience problems printing. Whenever the user tries to print their computer will freeze. They will be unable to print now, even with reboots, until I run the CLEANSPL utility on their PC. Their PC will then be fine for another few weeks. Sometimes when a PC has this problem, 3 or 4 other PCs on the LAN experience the same issue. We've had no problem for weeks, yet today 4 computers suffered, each having to be cleansed with cleanspl. When I run the cleanspl utility I see nothing untoward in the spooler.txt file that's generated. This has been going on for about 6 months now, and I'm now completely out of ideas. Running cleanspl all the time is very distruptive as it requires at least one reboot. Can anyone suggest where we go from here? Many thanks, Jim

4. Print spooler problem when printing PDFs
My printer works fine normally but when trying to print pdfs from journal sites I get 2 error messages: that 'printer is unable to connec't and 'spooler service application has encountered a problem and must close'. I have uninstalled/reinstalled printer, started print spooler, reinstalled whole operating system, and still problem persists. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you

6. Printing from XP/x64 via print spooler on Windows2000 Server
Is it possible to configure a Windows2000 print server to support WindowsXP (X64-ersion) remote printing via shared printers. What about Windows Sever 2003 (X86 resp.X64)?

8. Print spooler hangs when trying to print from a shared print
Hello, Before i describe my problem, here is my setup: printerA = HP laserjet 1022n (builtin print server) PrinterB = HP laserjet 3330 (builtin print server) ServerA = Windows 2003 Server (domain controller) ServerB = Windows xp pro sp2 (member of domain ABC) ClientA = Windows xp pro sp2 (member of domain ABC) UserA = Domain user. Each time userA logs onto clientA, a script is run that maps the shared printers on serverB. I have a problem with two printers, prinerA and PrinterB. Both printers are installed through network on serverB. Both printers have an ip adress each. I can print without any problems from the serverB through both printers as long as they are not shared. I can also print out without any problem when the printers are shared BUT when no domain users are logged on. When a userA logs onto ClientA, both printers are mapped correct. I can see them in the "printers and faxes". However when you try to print something or try to access the printer properties, nothing happens on the clientA. At the same time the service "print spooler" on the serverB hangs. This leads to explorer hanging on serverB also. The only thing i can do is to manage the serverB through serverA(active directory) and stop the spooler service. After this serverB gets normal again. I have tried to disable the script and map the shared printers manually. The same thing happens. The error in the event viewer is as following: "Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from the spooler service" I hope somebody can help on this one, as this is very important to me.
