SPOOLSV Process takes down the server.

[Guest]

I am having a serious issue with my server. It's running pint server on
windows 2003 enterprise edition with all the updates, DHCP SERVER, WINS
SERVER and all these are running on microsoft cluster with a single node in
it.
After sometiime the spoolsv process starts taking the memory and heavy
amount of data coming in and going out of server is observed through the NIC
card. This process starts taking more and more memory and at some point I
cannot even open a command prompt. The solution to this is to delete the
spoolsv process through task manager.
It was running fine since two years and now this problem is driving me nuts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How can I send you a list of drivers and where can I find it. I am using
about 80 printers in a cluster.
Could you please send me the secure email where I can send it and how can I
find a driver list here in our server.
Thanks.

download the resource kit

use printdriverinfo to get a list of drivers. Pipe it to a file or just
paste the output into mail. Make your cmd buffer big or it will scroll off
the page if you cut and paste.
printdriverinfo /s:clusterservername
