I've seen it to but can't explain it other than I definitely have dodgy printer drivers and sometimes the spooler stops. Prior to replacing the driver I wrote a VBS script to automatically check to see if the spooler was running and restart it if is wasn't...might be useful.

Save the following as a VBS file and bobs your aunty...get the scheduler to run it every couple of minutes or so...
