i had a similar issue, i resolved by installing print server on a less busy and non critical server running on server 2003. i thought i can reboot the server whenever i needed, and once i did this, the thing has never hunged again. I further in future implemented a print management system, where it caches the job unto the server for 30 minutes untill the user invokes the job from the printer. if they don't its deleted in the 30 mins. -- "Aim for the top.

Have you tried googling? If it's a Windows issue, you'll most likely come across mane people who experienced it.

i usually stop the print spooler service and start it again. but this is becoming too hectic as im forced to do it over 6-10 times a day.
i got another server same make model and same OS Win server 2003 standard editon. Within 3 days of working fine (as I added the users) it gave me the same issue.
As for the heavy printers......im using HP LJ P1500 series and CanonLBP6200 all connected to client PC's running Win XP SP 2

Is the path %windir%\system32\spoolsv.exe or something else?
Also try "net stop spooler && net start spooler"

that night need a little bit of digging into ..till then batch file the restart job (Makamende admin) or monitor what causes ....this could mean your users are heavy printers ....so you need to implement a print server :)

TS settings are set to kill idle sessions already. But even with no one logged in I still have the "in session * printers" I think the problem is once a user logs in and prints a doc. there printer session is not killed and it remains on the list of printers seen only by that user and admin users.
How about the spoolsv.exe 100% CPU usage? I have to keep restarting print spooler service almost every hour.
