hmm... try this:
stop the spooler service (net stop spooler)
go into the C:\WINNT\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 folder and delete all the
folders and files out of there. That'll delete your driver cache. This is
sounding like it could be a currupt printer driver.
Reboot
See if you can open your printer folder now.
If you can, go to File, then Server Properties. Go to the Driver tab and make
sure that all of the drivers are gone. Reinstall the printer from scratch,
logged on as that user.
see if that helps....

Thanks for the advice, however, I can't even get the printer folders to open
up, even in Safe Mode.
Thanks,
Cameron

I had an OfficeJet D135 that was giving me a lot of pain when it was connected
directly on the network. I installed the software/driver directly from the CD,
but it just sucked up a lot of memory and made the computer slow as hell... To
"fix" that, I just uninstalled the software and made a win 2k serve that
printer to users. On the client side, I just installed the driver that came
with windows instead of the driver that came with the printer. I cant send
faxes from the local network, but it prints fine.

Hi All,
I have a laptop with Windows 2000 installed on it. Before I deployed it I
installed a network based printer and all seemed fine. Now that it is on the
clients desk, she is unable to print and I cannot open the printers folder (it
hangs the system). I have tried going in through the control panel etc but the
computer still freezes up. The only other clue I have is the spoolsv.exe in
Task Manager is showing a large amount of memory consumption (20+ MB).
Can anyone shed any clues as to how I can fix this? Other than thins problem
the computer seems fine.
Thanks in advance,
Cameron
