About a week ago, all at one time, all of my desktop, network printers started spooling very slowly. IE click print in Word, takes about 15 seconds to spool 3 pages, locking Word up until it is spooled. There is seemingly no commonality, 2 HP's, a Dell, etc. Not even all on the same servers or switches, but this all happened at once. Any thoughts?

I would look at the spoller directory on the server and eventually delete the files in there. Another option is to install the printers again and use new drivers.
Check performance on the spooler server by using task manager to make sure that there isn't a rogue process taking up all the cycles or memory. Check disk space and disk fragmentation on the server too. Try shutting down and restarting the spooler.
Already rebuilt all the spoolers and stopped and started the spooler service, no help. Disk keeper defrags every 4 hours, and there is 25GB of free space on the drive.
