I'm running Windows 2000 Server with Citrix Metaframe installed for 2 remote branches to login. About once or twice a day all my printers in the printers folder on the server disappear. We get no errors anywhere and rebooting brings them all back. I have all the latest 2000 and Citrix service packs installed.
Any ideas?

Make sure you have enough diskspace, particularly on the partition where the OS saves temporary Data. Do a Defrag, consider adding RAM.

sounds like spooler crashed on server? you are rebooting server to get printers back, yes? can you NET STOP the spooler service then NWT START it to get printers back w/o rebooting? can you see any clues in event logs? what has changed recently? what printers? AD?
