Your running Terminal Services on this machine aren't you.... I have had this same problem, and haven't really come up with a definite solution. I have found some white papers at Microsoft that states that you don't want to make your Term. Serv. a print server at the same time. Here is what I've done to stop the issue.
Make sure your not using roaming profiles. If you are, change all the profile accounts on the server to local. It won't affect the rest of the network. Next thing is to not share any of the printers that are installed on that server.
Also go one step farther with stopping the printer service. Delete the print jobs in the spools folder \winnt\system32\spool\printers. Just make sure to let those printing know that they will have to re-send their print job.
Hope this helps if not I hope you find a solution for this issue.
