Printing and RPC Server Unavailable

[PerseusMi]

I am running SBS 4.5 ( essentially NT 4.0 ). I am finding that some of my NT clients printers mysteriously vanish and their spooler services shutdown. My question is why is it that only NT clients seem to be affected, while my WIN 9x users seem to be printing just fine. On the server side...there isn't any indication of problems. I have since upgraded to Service Pack 6a and grabbed the Latest JetAdmin Utility....while I haven't heard of any issues since ( though it might be a little to early to celebrate ).
Anyone seen this or have some thoughts?

Thanks,

I have regular instances where there's a problem with the RPC server. It just quits. Sometimes its a precursor that my server is getting ready to hang.

Sometimes stopping and starting spooler helps, but sometime the only remedy is to reboot my server since it takes over an hour to recycle. [sig][/sig]

Any chance that this RPC unavailable could be a WINS issue? [sig][/sig]
