Not sure if the "Print Operators" group can do that... try it (I don't think
they can...)

Anyway, if you go into SERVICES.MSC on the server, and open up Print
Spooler, you can set "Recovery" options that will automatically restart the
service after xx minutes, if it fails. Does that work?

[I guess you've given up on trying to isolate the cause of the failures.
Could be caused by a misbehaving print driver...]
