Print Spooler Problem

[Keith]

I am having problems with the print spooler service on one of my 2k server
boxes.

It keeps stopping for no reason and I have to manually restart it.

The even log shows the following:

Event ID 7031
The Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 3
time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds:
No action.

Has anyone come accross this before?

Is there any way to have the service restart automatically as there is not
always someone available with admin rights/skills to restart the service.

Thanks

Look at the Properties of the Print Spooler service - on the "Recovery" tab,
you can specify that the service should automatically restart if it fails.
