A crashing printer spooler on a Terminal Server is nearly always a
sign that you are using a 3th party printer driver which is not TS-
compatible.
The remedy is to uninstall all 3th party printer drivers and map
all printers that don't autocreate to a native printer driver on
the server, by creating a custom ntprintsubs.inf file. Details are
explained here:

239088 - Windows 2000 Terminal Services Server Logs Events 1111,
1105, and 1106
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=239088

You can check the recommended native driver substitution for your
local printers here:

Client Printer Autocreation Matrix

If you manage more than a handful of servers and more than a dozen
of printer models, it will be worth it to invest in a 3rd party
printer management solution.
