Print Spool Stoping

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

Nearly always a sign of corrupted printer drivers. I'd advice uninstalling
on all the PCs and Server... since you probably won't be able to find out
which one is corrupted, but start at the Server.

FYI - Turns out the problem is NetSupport Manager (remote PC access software)
- someone else reported the same issue with PC DUO - removed the
\netsup~1\client32.exe form services and I have a happy print spooler again.
