[THIN] Re: Print Spooler stopping

Are you using Citrix or just TSE?  If so what version of CItrix.  Citrix has its own print service that needs to be started prior to the printe spooler service. We need a bit more info. Are there any errors in the log?  I have a spooler reset batch file I run that stops the citrix printer service, then the print spool and then restarts the spool and then citrix printer service.
You can schedule this to run a few times throughout the day easily enough and users for the most part will not notice.

It seems every few weeks my print spooler takes a dive and I cannot get it going again with any reliability. I start it up, but it quickly stops again. This has happened a few times over a few weeks.

I can get it going again by running cleanspl and rebooting, but obviously that's not a good solution. Generally, my users use Screwdrivers for their printers, except a few special ones on the server (Docuprinter TSE for PDF creation, CCH, etc.) I have to reinstall these after the reboot as well.

Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening again? I have not loaded any drivers.NOTICE: This electronic mail transmission from the law firm of Dinsmore & Shohl may constitute an attorney-client communication that is privileged at law.  It is not intended for transmission to, or receipt by, any unauthorized persons.
