I made an activex that prints forms using the following instruction:

form.PrintForm

it works correctly and prints form 10000 up to 20000 forms a day
sometimes it happen that the windows spooler 2000 get stuck (100% cpu) and locks the application without displaying any message or generating any error.
I think it's a windows metter but i'd like to know how to trap it

I'm not much of a printer person, but I think my network admin guy just said the other day that Win2000 doesn't have to spool print jobs...you can send directly to the printer and let it spool.

This might help your problem. Where to start? I think he was showing me properties from the Printer settings in Control Panel.

Sorry about being vague, but hopefully it might point you in the right direction.
