When trying to print a JPEG photo with win 2000, I sometimes get a "spooler era" program is shuting down ,message. After this happens, the printer appears "un-installed" and nothing short of a re-boot cures the problem. What can I do to elliminate the problems ?

spooler crashes are usually cured with latest prnter driver from the mfg. or diddling with drivr sttings. turning on/off bi-di printing, raw vs emf, like that. so we need to know which model printer and interface to answer your question. meanwhile, i would apply all win2k sp's, and install the latest printer driver for my printer. if you don't want to reboot after spooler crash, you can try stopping and restarting the printer spooler service in Control Panel/Servcies
