!!HELP!! Pulling my hair on this one. Printer problems. Really need some help on this.

All of a sudden my printers are having some major issues. All my printers
are available however they all show as being "offline". If I send a test
page it will just hang in the queque and any job sent after it hangs behind
it. If I restart the printer spooler the jobs goes through but the printer
goes offline again and same problems. I've even went as far as removing and
deleting the printers and restarting the system. Reinstalled the printers
and of course created "new" tcpip ports. Same thing. I need to restart the
print spooler service and the jobs go through then printer goes offline
again. What is happening? I've never had this happen before. Any ideas?
Thanks.
