Hi Thorsten,

I can't be sure that its exactly the same error, but I had a very
similar problem that I solved like this:

In the policy editor, for the group policy that you're using to control
your print servers, explicitly disable the policy:

Computer Configuration:Policies:Administrative Templates:Printers:Always
render print jobs on the server

Windows documentation says this defaults to disabled, but we have found
this to be (at least partially) untrue for W2k8 - if you need it
disabled then disable it explicitly.

Hopefully that works for you...
