Print spooler and disappearing printers

G

Guest

I have a PC that keeps losing its printers. If I open Settings/Printers it will show no printers. If I stop and start the print spooler in services all network printers and the local printer will re-appear and I can print.
PC is running W2k Pro and all updates from MS.
