Stephen & Steve,

Have you looked at the partition on which you spool your printer files? It
needs a large space that is unfragmented. By default it uses the System
partition, but you can move it to another. Does your System partition have
plenty of free space, and is it unfragmented? After a new installation you
tend to have files all over the place on the System disk - it needs
defragging to tidy it up. This has been the cause of some other similar
problems.

I think the problem is in the Windows spooling system; it seems to
me the spooler is simply dumping half the job, or never spooled it
in the first place. Have you done all the Windows SP1 updates?
Surprisingly enough not all of them are security-hole related.
