spoolsv.exe error issue   

Hello, 
Occasionaly, like every other day, i am getting an error message on my WIN 
2000 Server machine. The error message is:

"spoolsv.exe.
instruction at "0x77cc2c0" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory 
could not be written. Click OK to terminate.

Any ideas what this means, what could be causing this, and how i can resolve 
this?

When this error message is on the screen, no one in my company can print to 
their networked printers, obviously.

If i stop and restart the print spooler service, it does allow users to 
print again. 

Any ideas what is happening here?
