Hi, If there's a pending print job to a disconnected client printer you've got problems. The spooler won't be stable until the print job is gone. Just set the service recovery to "run a program" and have it run a script, eg clnspool.cmd as below. ---- @echo off :: clnspool.cmd - clean print jobs out of the priter queue before retstarting the service. Del /q %systemroot%\system32\spool\printers\*.* Net start spooler ---- Regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Volante Systems 18 Heussler Terrace, Milton 4064 Queensland, Australia tel +61 7 32467704 rmack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Petitti, Bruno [mailto:bpetitti@xxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, 27 March 2004 12:46 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Print Spooler Starts and Stops We are Windows 2003 with Citrix XPa FR3. On one server, you can start the spooler service but then it stops when you exit out of the computer management console. The event log shows that it tries to start it 5 times then it fails. Any ideas? ******************************************************** This weeks sponsor Emergent Online.
