Question : Server Stopping Print Spooler

We are using Windows SBS 2003 and just recently we lost printers over the network. It seems that the computers on the network have had their spoolers stopped. its happening all over the network... We need to go into services and start the spooler. Sometimes two times then go into Printers and hit refresh then they will appear and all it good untill the computer is restarted.
