HI All,

I am working on a client site where all my printing settings are being taken
from the client device.  The client machines vary from win98-winxp pro, and
some 2000 pro boxes for good measure.

I have for the moment had to have my clients accessing a published program
neighbourhood to access the servers (3) through a netgear router.  The
servers are running win2k sp3, fr3.  I am having intermittent issues with
the spooler service crashing for no apparent reason.  I have my settings
configured to map my users printer, use the universal if the native driver
is not available.

The client printers consist of a good old HP which works no problem, but
during the implementation the company decided to then tell me that they have
a few Brother muti function printers and during the week of the roll out 5
remote sites got 1 or 2 Kyocera printers, of course each one a slightly
different model..  Since the remote users, there are 8 remote sites, have
started accessing the system, I have had problems with the spooler service
stopping, having print jobs stuck in the que.

I have tried adding the native drivers, but still get the spooler stopping,
I have excludd the paperport drivers, adobe acrobat, pdf factory pro, &
symantec fax drivers from being created.

If anyone has any hints on how to identify what is killing the spooler or in
working with Kyocera printers, I would be very glad to hear from you.

Thanks and Cheers
