Brandon: Thanks for the offer of help!! It is greatly appreciated. It seems that - now - the win2k printers are printing ok. For some reason they all started to print ok, but as soon as they go back to not printing, I'll check the make sure the print spooler is started and will get back to you for help in this matter. It sure is weird where they all stopped printing, then started back up again on their own. I did check for virus, spyware, etc. but the machines came up clean each time. thanks, George
