The spooler service seems to stop for no apparent reason. The event viewer returns the following error:
The server service was unable to map error code 1727.
This has been happening since a server rebuild. Has occurred 3 times today. This print server is in constant use and has approx 30 printers configured.
Any ideas? I have looked at Technet but there doesn't seem to be anything specific there.

Information from Technet:

The following error may appear in the Event Viewer System Log:

Event ID: 2510
Source: Server
Type: Error
Category: None
Description: The server service was unable to map error code 1797.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This error actually means:

The printer driver is unknown

This information can be obtained by typing the following line at a command
prompt:

net helpmsg 1797

The reason for this error is that a client workstation (for example, a computer
running Windows 95) attempted to download a cross platform print driver but the
computer running Windows NT Server did not have that driver loaded. The client
will then most likely install the driver from another source, such as a printer
driver installation disk. The computer running Windows NT Server simply logs
this event with the above information.
