I was working in an application and tried to send a job to
the locl printer and I recieved a message asking if I
would like to setup a new printer. After reviewing printer
setting ALL printers (both network and local)printers had
disappeared. I waited 1 minute and all printers came back
and I could print without problems. I am running XP with
a Novell client (most current along with service pack 2
for the Novell client.

Any ideas.

Thanks,

Michael
 
The spooler service failed. One minute after failing it will restart.
There should be an event in the System event log that may point to a cause
of the failure. Generally, incompatible print drivers can cause the spooler
to fail. What type of printer do you have?
