I have a recurring issue with a Print Spooler on a Windows 2000 Server. A
print job will get stuck and take a large amount of the CPU time.

I stop the print spooler in Services, go into Windows (or Winnt) | System32
| Spool | Printers and delete all jobs in that folder and restart the print
spooler. This fixes the issue temporarily, but several days later, the same
process occurs.

Is there a way to trace where the stuck print job is coming from, or has
anyone run into this same issue?

Thanks,
David
