Vista spooler keeps stopping
Cari,
Thanks for your suggestion. There were four printers configured. Three were configured to use local printer drivers but the fourth one was configured to upload the printer driver from our server. The uploaded driver is a different version from the local printer driver though all of them drive the same physical printer. I think that was the problem. I deleted all the printers (the fourth printer was difficult to delete, more about this later) and deleted all installed printer drivers and printers. Added the three printers again - configured as local printers. The spooler does not crash anymore. When deleting the fourth printer, the spooler terminated. As a result, I could not delete this printer. I restarted the PC, the driver for this printer was uploaded from the server. This put me back to square one. I fiddled around for a while including disconnecting network cable (the printer is a network printer), restarting the PC (multiple times), deleting the wrong driver (the spooler terminated); not sure the sequence of my actions, I finallly managed to delete the wrong driver and the fourth printer. Could you explain to me what is the right sequence to get rid of this "sticky" situation? Thanks. "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: Almost certainly corrupted drivers.
