Hello fabry,

How many space is left on the C/drive of the printer? If theire is not enough
space to spool all documents it stops working.

Re: Stopping spooler services

Hello,

A similar issue happened to me a few weeks ago and after looking for
solutions and work-arounds i came up with this: Adobe Acrobat reader or
Professional Writer Version 8 "make dissapear" all printers, i don't know
why, i just updated it with its latest release (i don't know release number)
and it creates a virtual printer with the name "Adobe PDF" and then after
that my printers didn't disappear again.

Maybe this might worth a shot.
