Windows 2000 Pro has been up for a couple of weeks now, and I've noticed that as the days have progessed, SPOOLSV.EXE has been gaining more and more presence in the memory, sometimes a couple of megs per day. I'm assuming this is because the print jobs I've sent since the OS has been up have not cleared out.

If this is the case, how can I clear it? Just end the process?

try to stop the service and restart it, see if that brings it down. Go to services what ever way you like and stop it and then restart it.
