Question : Problem: Printer stops printer - net stop/start spooler gets it going ??

We have 2 HPLJP3005 network printers on our SBS 2003R2 network.  One works fine all day long.  The other will print along then the u sers tell us it stops.  The queue has items in there and no error messages on the LCD panel.

I've found that doing a net stop spooler and net start spooler fixes it.  

Any reason why this is happening ??

Thanks
Bruce

Answer : Problem: Printer stops printer - net stop/start spooler gets it going ??

well thats one of the fixes from hp which we used at one of our client sites
the other is to install the printer manually on all the PC's go round with the disk pop it in and install away
bit of an inconvieniance but HP's drivers suck on server 2003
