Whenever I print , the print leaves the spooler and
generates no console errors. But the document is never
printed. The event viewer shows the following
errot "Document failed to print due to GDI/Driver error in
rendering".

CAN someone help me with this ?

You should give more problem describtion. Like what printer, platform,
software. Is there any more error message?
 
I had the same problem... Research on Google revealed that the typical
obstacle that creates this error message is that:
* You are running NTFS
* You (or a client on the LAN) are NOT identified as an administrator on
the computer with the printer
* Certain sub-directories are not giving normal users permission

Having made the following changes fixed it for me.

* Find the SPOOL directory, typically within your %SYSTEM32% folder.
* Find the TEMP directory, typically within your %SYSTEM% folder.
* Right-click on each and select Properties, then the Security tab.
* Assign Full Control to "Everybody".

Microsoft Knowledgebase article 271901 may give additional help.
