Printer Spooler Issue

[Phases]

I want to learn, but would like to be pointed in the right direction...

I have a server, which hosts about 100 printers. Over the past year, the spooler has started to stop processing prints. It doesn't lock up, it doesn't GPF - it continues running, but nothing prints.

I need to know if there is a why to test the spooler service responsiveness and restart if necessary.

Thanks to anyone that can help me find a *true north* on this one.

Maybe this can help you out.

$strComputer = "."
$objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:" _
                        & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & $strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

$colPrintQueues =  $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_PerfFormattedData_Spooler_PrintQueue Where " & _
                                                "Name <> '_Total'")

For $objPrintQueue in $colPrintQueues
    Consolewrite( "Name: " & $objPrintQueue.Name & @CR )
    Consolewrite( "Jobs: " & $objPrintQueue.Jobs & @CR )
    Consolewrite( "Current jobs spooling: " & $objPrintQueue.JobsSpooling & @CR )
    Consolewrite( "Maximum jobs spooling: " & $objPrintQueue.MaxJobsSpooling & @CR )
    Consolewrite( "Total jobs printed: " & $objPrintQueue.TotalJobsPrinted & @CR )
    Consolewrite( "Job errors: " & $objPrintQueue.JobErrors & @CR )
    Consolewrite( "Not ready errors: " & $objPrintQueue.NotReadyErrors & @CR )
    Consolewrite( "Out of paper errors: " & $objPrintQueue.OutOfPaperErrors & @CR )

And this will start/stop the Print Spooler:
