Win2000 Server - Spooler Failing

I am running Windows 2000 Server on a 10/100 ethernet network. On two recent
occasions my users have been unable to print to networked printers
(installed thru the primary server). When I attempt to look at printer
properties on the server, or the Windows Services for that matter, I'm
getting a "Disk Full" error. I have 600+MB free on my primary drive and
several GB available on my data drives.

I can stop and restart the Spooler service and the problem goes away...
could this be caused specifically by large print jobs running out of spooler
space, or should I be on the lookout for a more critical issue?

TIA

That's not a lot.

So which drive is TEMP / spooler directory on, the same.

That cleared the job and released the disk space.

Look for,
Same user, same printer, same application etc., printer driver revert to
older, upgrade to newer.

Have a look also at RAW / EMF settings, don't use the spooler if it's
the same user/application try printing directly to printer.

As usual for good ideas.

Thanks - I'm too stupid to take (our) own advice and use Google... but I
appreciate the info and the kick in the arse.
