All Printers Vanish?

[dlw]

Since I have been trying to solve this uncompatible printer re-direction
problem, something very odd has been happening. All of a sudden, all
printers will disappear from all RDP sessions. I have to re-boot the server
in order to get them to show up again.
Any idea what is going on here?

Sounds like your spooler service died.
Next time this happens, try if you can get them back by just
restarting the spooler service in stead of the whole server.
And uninstall all 3th party drivers, to prevent spooler crashes.
