Where are my printers?!

[mingtmak]

Clicking on "settings > printers" just thinks for a second then nothing comes up.
Same thing happens when clicking in control panel.

Any ideas?

restarting the service fixed it...at least temporarily. Not sure if this issue will come up again.
The power meter not shutting down properly during logoff helped point me in the right direction

This occurs when the spooler service is hung. It is not uncommon to see this happen in a print server environment. All you need to do "usually" is to restart the spooler service and your printers will reappear

Thanks for the info. This server was just restored from a backup recently and I wasn't sure if it was just an annoyance or a major issue.
