I'm having a problem with the Print Spool services; they
keep turning off when you send a print job. I have had 2
win2k pro machines exhibit this behavior today. One of the
machines I was able to restart the services and the print
work. I applied the same fix to the second computer. The
second computer will shut down the services everytime you
send a print job to the printer. I am able to restar the
services as a local administrator and the services fail
again.
 
After applying the SP4 the spooler was restarting. I
applying the Hotfix from Microsoft Knowledge Base article
number Q820550. This still did not solve the problem.
After going in to the %systemroot%\system32\spool folder
and deleting all of the files in the sub folders. I
restarted the computer and this has seemed to solve the
problem.
