print errors after running server for a week

[Guest]

Hi,

One of our file and print servers is having problem when after running it
for a week or so, some print jobs will fail. Then slow more people will not
be able to print.

The server has 2GB of RAM and heaps of pagefile. Problem happens on diff
printers, with different error code returned from printer under Event ID 6161.

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

open task manager in the console session. Click Process, Click View,
Select Columns , check GDI Objects.

Sort on the GDI object list. If there are a bunch in the spooler you can
bump the limit up. Not sure how to check paged pool without a debugger.

win32 error 0 will be seen if you run out of paged pool or GDI handles.
win32 error 259 is sometimes generated on cancel.
