It shouldn't be an application leak since an app close doesn't fix it. It must be something that the app uses, like printer drivers and the like.

Do you have a USB <-> serial adaptor on the PC in question? I have come across one whose drivers leak resources/memory until it causes the problems you describe, and only a reboot fixes it.

There is more than one computer involved, as the OP noted explicitly here (emphasis added):

Quote:After a few days of being on, this server app starts to send "Not enough system resources" errors when workstations try to print.

When I said, "the PC in question" I meant the server PC, as the way I understand it, the workstations merely connect to the server and the server has the memory leak, and thus reports the failue to the clients.

It is perfectly possible that terminating the app does not properly unlock a shared resource of some type, which then causes the server app to cease functioning until the entire box is rebooted.

Yes and that would constitute a memory/resourse leak external to the program. The difference between that and what I described is that in your case the program he speaks of would be described as being at fault. It is just as likely to be a bug in something else, that this program cannot avoid.
2 out of 3 memory leaks I've tracked down, at my work, were bugs in Microsoft's or other manufacturer's, components.
