My Printer Spooler Service stops for no reason, this machine is a client on a
SBS 2003 Premium server any ideas??? Kevin
 
The print spooler failing is almost always due to corrupted printer drivers.
Uninstall and reinstall.....
 
So if I am understanding this point; the printer drivers on our SBS2003
Server must be Vista compatible as well? Or do get a vista one for the vista
machine only?
 
Yes, they must be Vista compatible on the SBS Server as well as the Vista
client.
 
HP has some drivers that check the OS version and crash when the OS version
is 6. This failure takes out the spooler on the client machine.

What model is the printer you have?
