I've seen this several times before Doug. It comes back to dodgy print drivers. Cheers.

We can, in some cases, remote manage and view part of event logs but hangs most times. Our environment configuration is: w2k3 sp1 (+bunch of patches) PS3 with 2005.04 but not set to PS4 and a bunch of patches Office 2003 sp1 We think this has something to do with printers as calls usually come in first saying printing is not working. Users can’t do print preview and printing stops working. Most of our users are using Lexmark printers of some sort, networked. We have been told that the printer server guys are updating their print servers from windows 2000 to w2k3. Don’t know if it is related. At this point the only option we can come up with is SP2 the servers + patches and R03. Anyone got any less dramatic things that might help?
