Hello,

I have a W2K (SP3) Server running Terminal Services.
I have had around 30 crashes in the last 6 months, most
of the BSOD information is 0xA, 0x1e. I reckon that
print drivers are to blame as users have printers mapped
via a login script so could be using printers with
manufacturers dirvers loaded.
Is there an easy way to find this out? Or has anyone
experienced similar issues that are related to something
else?

Cheers

3rd party print drivers are notorious for causing BSOD on terminal servers. You might want to take a look at theis to remove the drivers that didn't ship with the OS:

Then go here to setup your printers w/o using 3rd party drivers:

I'd look at the event logs for errors that coincide with the stop errors you've been experiencing.
