Windows 2000 - Problem with printers Disappearing

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

Hi
On a windows2000 desktop PC every so often it loses it's list of
printers. If you then try and install the printer again sometimes it
will say "not possible - out of resouces". However if you do a
straight re-boot the list of installed printers (both local &
network) come back.

Can anyone offer any advice how to solve this please?
Thanks in advance
