CHKSPOOL will restart a print spooler even if it is still showing as
running.  What it does is tries to print to a file using the spooler, and if
the file doesn't get created, it assumes it is down.  I wrote this for the
exact condition you are describing.

I see the same thing that is is not a true crash..  Sorry for wrong verbiage
but it stopped responding properly even though Windows thinks that it is
still up and operating.

Bruce,
 
But my spooler is not showing the stopped state - it says that the service
is up and running. I use windows 2000 recovery options for the Print Spooler
to restart it every time it crashes, but as far as logs say it did not crash
at all.
