Re: System reboots when I try to print

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Install Debugging Tools for Windows from Microsoft Homepage.
Download actual symbols for your system or set symbolpath in windbg to
"SRV*c:\windows\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols";, where
"c:\windows\symbol" is the
path where the symbols should be downloaded.
I suppose if you attach to the spooler-process (spoolsv.exe) with F6, windbg
will stop when do some networkprinting action.
If not, you can load a crashdump in windbg, which should be created (enable
full crashdump).
With "call stack" in windbg all modules are listet up to the statement which
caused the error.

Check espacially for NT4 - drivers that were installed automaticly from the
print-server.
(NT4-drivers are installed in system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\2, 2000/xp -
drivers in ...\w32x86\3).
NT-drivers contains kernel-code, which can cause reboot, when problems
occur.
2000/xp-drivers normaly not.
