running Server 2003 Std sp2. A couple of months ago, we started having issues with our print server, it has about 40 printers on it of various makes & models (some Xerox, some HP, some Sharp, some Canon, etc).
The spoolsv.exe has started having memory leak issues, to the point that I have to restart the spooler service at least 2x every day. it starts out using 2-3MB memory, then over the course of 4-5 hours, steadily climbs to using 500+MB memory.
I've tried installing sp2 for Svr2003, which M$ recommended but it didn't help. I've also changed all of my ports over to standard TCP/IP ports, instead of named ports, or LDP ports for my Sharp printers, per their recommendation.
I've also tried updating my HP drivers, but that didn't help either. Is there any tool out there that will help me isolate exactly WHICH driver it is that's causing the problem? I have Process Explorer, but it's just showing spoolsv.exe, not which driver is being called.
thanks,
